Adams' Admission Reaction: San Diego Gay Paper Demands Resignation

By NIGEL JAQUISS

Portland's gay publication Just Out got a lot of heat when it joined mainstream publications such as The Oregonian, The Portland Tribune and The Portland Business Journal in calling for Mayor Sam Adams to resign after he admitted to lying about having sex with then-teenager Beau Breedlove in 2005.

With a nod to Martin Luther King Jr., the San Diego Gay & Lesbian Times recently echoed and amplified Just Out's demand for Adams to resign. (Although like some other publications, the San Diego paper apparently misunderstood Breedlove's position. He was a legislative intern, not a City Hall intern).
