Our culture is so confused about sex. This is none of anyone's business. The relationship didn't become sexual until the age of 18 so there is no legal issue here. Adams knowing how sex, especially gay male sex with partners spanning a large age gap, is so stigmatized by our culture, had no choice but to lie. I would have done the same thing and I think this in no way jeopardizes his ability and integrity as Mayor. Leave it alone. Support him and urge him not to resign over this at the rally tomorrow. It saddens me that our culture is even cares about others sex lives. There has been no wrong doing here.
