Portland Mayor Tom Potter is under fire after rejecting a request for a letter of support for the Mrs Oregon pageant calling it anti-gay.

The beauty contest is the local part of the Mrs America Pageant which requires that contestants be married to men only. It also requires contestants to be "natural born" females.

Pageant organizers asked Potter for a letter to put in the pageant's program "acknowledging your support of the Mrs. Oregon America Program."

1. Well, I have seen some awfully cute lesbians...

You know, the kind any straight guy would go all aflutter for and walk up to you, staring at his shoes, and say "Uh, gawrsh, I feel really awkward about this, but you're very attractive and...huh? You're taken? And you're only into girls? Nuts. Well, she's damn lucky, and she better treat you right. Nice to meet you."

5. See? I think that's a great thing to be able to appreciate

the attractiveness of someone you might otherwise not be attracted to. I love being able to appreciate the beauty-inner and outer-of some women and men.

6. Yup, I love window-shopping

You can admire so many different things, even if you have no intention of actually buying them!
