PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Commissioner Sam Adams easily won the Portland mayoral race, making this city the largest in the U.S. to ever elect an openly gay mayor.
Adams avoided a November runoff by winning 58 percent of the vote with more than 80 percent of the ballots counted Tuesday night. Businessman Sho Dozono had 34 percent and almost a dozen minor candidates split the rest.
I guess natural disasters are coming to Oregon, huh?

Coming? An openly gay mayor is a natural disaster.

Maybe he'll be a good mayor. Perhaps he was elected for what he will do for the city, and not because of his private life?
