It's not the sex. It's the lie. Sam knew that this story would likely keep him from being elected mayor. So he lied and asked others to lie for him. He accepted the fervent support of the gay community and others who felt this story was a smear campaign to keep a gay man from holding the office of Mayor of Portland, all the while knowing it wasn't a smear campaign at all. Portland deserves a mayor with integrity. Sam's lies show his utter lack of integrity, and he should step aside.
