Portland mayor acknowledges sex relationship with young man he mentored (OR - maybe a 17 year-old)
The Oregonian ^ | January 19, 2009 | Anna Griffin

Posted on 01/19/2009 5:31:40 PM PST by CedarDave

Mayor Sam Adams acknowledged today that he had a sexual relationship in 2005 with an 18-year-old man he had mentored. He said he lied when asked about it in 2007 and told the young man, Beau Breedlove, to lie about it, too.

The revelations come nearly a year and a half after Adams and Breedlove insisted, in the weeks after rumors surfaced in summer 2007, that their relationship was strictly platonic.

Adams, who is openly gay, said he had acted as a mentor to Breedlove, then 17, at a time when the legislative intern was struggling to come out of the closet.

Adams said the sexual relationship did not start until after Breedlove turned 18. Breedlove, now 21, could not be reached for comment.

"I didn't get into public life to allow my instinct to help others to be snuffed out by fear of sleazy misrepresentations or political manipulation," Adams wrote in an open letter to Portlanders in September 2007. "I understand the need for good judgment, and I work very hard to keep within the bounds of propriety -- as I did in this case."

I’m assuming he’s a Democrat because if he was a Republican, it would have been mentioned in the first sentence of the article.

Here’s a more honest report - from The Oregon News.

Headline:
“Portland mayor acknowledges sexual relationship with young man he mentored”

Oldest queer trick in the queer book.

Second oldest, “how will you ever know for sure it isn't for you, if you never try it?”

Third oldest, “if you weren't so closed minded and bigoted, you would go out with me.” (Also used by race hustlers.)

Another old stand-by:

“It it wasn't ‘natural’, you wouldn't be able to do it!” Yeah, like putting cucumbers in venison stew is natural, just because a perverted chef is able to; that still doesn't mean that long green one belongs where he's putting it.

Replace “mentored” with “MOUNTED” and the headline makes more sense.

You know, come to think of it, at least Bud was honest enough to actually RIDE his bike to work. In fact I used to see that guy riding his bike all over NW Portland in the 90’s ( Lived on 23rd and Everett, for those of you who know Downtown Portland). At least he was that honest. Can’t say that about any of those that followed him.

“Can’t you all understand that this is a personal matter, and he needs to get back to the work that the people of Portland hired him to do?”

Funny. I am sure you accidentally left off the sarcasm tags.

Portland can do what they want with him, I don’t care. If he does get taken down by this, the next one isn’t likely to be any better.

I was there back in the middle ‘70’s, and only for a short time. The baked reuben was fabulous and then there were the smoke-free Mondays and Tuesday chess night. I liked it then.
