Willamette Week Sam Adams & Beau Breedlove

The Willamette Week, a newspaper, showed Portland Mayor Sam Adams, some evidence that he was involved in a gay relationship with a male teenager, Beau Breedlove, in 2005. As late as last week, Sam Adams had denied he had a gay affair with Beau Breedlove.

However, on Monday, Jan 19, Sam Adams reversed his stance and admitted to a gay relationship with Beau Breedlove on his webpage. This was soon after Willamette Week published the story on Sam Adams on its website.

Sam Adams apologized to Beau Breedlove, who is now 21. Sam Adams apologized to voters and colleagues for lying. Adams said he did not admit his relationship about the Breedlove because he was afraid people would believe the rumors about him breaking the law by having sex with a minor. Adams supposedly said he had sex with Breedlove after he became 18. (Source)
