Probably thinking of the former mayor of Seattle.
Sam Adams (Oregon politician)
Personal life
From 1992 until 2004, Adams was in a long-term relationship with Greg Eddie.[71] During that time, in 1993, he was outed as gay by the alternative newspaper Willamette Week. In 2007, the former couple, in a challenge to the state constitution, filed suit against the State of Oregon to dissolve their domestic partnership and divide Adams’ future pension.[72][73] After his break-up with Eddie, Adams was, for the first time, both openly gay and single. Adams lamented his lack of “gaydar”. He said this made him decide to date only men who asked him out first.[74]
In 2005, Adams met Beau Breedlove, a 17-year-old interning for Oregon State Representative Kim Thatcher.[75] In September 2007, Adams denied rumors of a sexual relationship between the two, calling the allegations scurrilous, and adding that they played into stereotypes of predatory gays.[75] In January 2009, after being confronted with a story in Willamette Week, Adams acknowledged lying about the nature of their sexual relationship.[74][76]
