Another call for resignation

From today's Gay & Lesbian Times:

editorial
The truth hurts … resign Sam Adams
Published Thursday, 29-Jan-2009 in issue 1101

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

These words, immortalized by civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. in his famous 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech have been oft quoted in the recent months, as our nation’s first African-American president, President Barack Obama, was elected.

We at the Gay & Lesbian Times believe individuals should indeed be judged on the content of their character, and not their ethnicity, race, gender, age, sex, religion, or sexual orientation.

For this reason, we join the chorus of individuals, organizations, and publications calling for Portland Mayor Sam Adams to resign.
