The Rev. Chuck Currie, (photo above) a past endorser of Mayor Sam Adams, grappled earlier this week with what he thinks the mayor should do after Adams’ admission that he lied about a sexual relationship with 18-year-old Beau Breedlove.
Currie, a long-time advocate for homeless people, has now decided. Currie concludes in his latest blog post,
Mayor Adams needs to resign so that we can get to the business of quickly finding a new mayor who can meet the challenges we commonly face. His resignation would be a gift and would set him on a path of recovery. There is still a place for Sam in Portland. It just isn’t in City Hall.
In time, however, I hope he finds his way back into the public arena. Sam Adams is smart, dedicated, and deserving of the forgiveness he has asked for.

Getting Portland back to focusing on the issues that are vital for our future is the goal of http://www.recallsamadams.com
Please do take a look at our ‘Open Letter to Sam Adams’ on our home page.
How does that make sense? He deserves our forgiveness, should be in public service, but should also resign?
Please don’t resign, Sam. We need you.
We need you like a hole in a bucket….
Please get the hell out now, Sam. We don’t need lying, manipulating, predatory chickenhawks at City Hall.
It is disappointing to see so many bigoted and hateful remarks that have been left on this site. Homosexuality is not a sin but homophobia clearly is.
Sorry, but Sam’s the HOMOPHOBE. He’s the one who brought up the word first about his rival, another gay man. Sam lied about his sexual relationship with a legal kid. sam coached the legal kid to lie about their sex. Why? Sam is ashamed of his actions. Sam is the homophobe. Sam needs to take a break and make friends with the fact that he is gay….and shouldn’t have to lie about it, or spread rumors about others being homophobes when all they are doing is reporting the news.
Sam Adams is a liar, no longer trustworthy and should resign. Portland needs to put this scandal to rest and the only way is for Sam to bow out and let the voting begin. Please resign now Sam. I am not homophobic man; just don’t like liras running this beautiful City of Roses.
