Sam has been at alot of events that I've been at. I don't know him personally but he seems like he's alot of fun to be around. He can also get down to business too. The out-going Mayor was very progressive minded too. He is a PFLAG Dad. He has a lesbian daughter and has spoke at several PFLAG events I've attended. I've met him personally and hope to get to meet Sam personally too.

Wow, awesome!

Still a bit behind Europe; the mayors of Paris, Hamburg and Berlin are all gay.
We're catching up, though!
