Comments on: Mayor explains why he decided not to resign over teen sex story http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-11022.html/ PinkNews.co.uk Gay News (UK and world) from Pink News - all the gay news for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered community in the UK and beyond- thegaynews from Pink News Thu, 26 Nov 2009 13:50:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Simon Murphy http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-11022.html/comment-page-1/#comment-43166 Simon Murphy Wed, 04 Feb 2009 20:32:32 +0000 http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-11022.html#comment-43166 He did nothing illegal but he did tell barefaced lies about the relationship when questioned about it. He denied it. Remember Bill Clinton was impeached as president for doing the same thing as Mayor Adams. The US electorate does not seem to approve of lying politicians who have sexual relations with much younger staff members. Gay or straight however they should be treated alike. I don't like the way Adams is trying to exploit the gay press to support him just because he is gay.

Why they are trolling this gay news site is beyond my understanding. Sam Adams didn't do anything illegal and therefore, there is not need for him to resign.

Indeed, why then, did he keep denhying the relationship and claim he was only a mentor after the chap hitting 18? If it had been a mature man vs teenage girl issue, this claim would hiot the gutter fast, where it belongs... Its obvious he could not keep off the boy. yes, We are to belive that he held heimself off for 18 months!
