America’s Youngest Gay Mayor Evan Low is Ambitious, Driven, and Hot

ba-low_0500908095

Now that homosexuals have spread their 2(x)ist briefs from every corner of this country, it’s getting harder and harder to be gay and have a first. Gerry Studds was the first gay U.S. congressman; Barney Frank was the first one to come out on his own (after much pressure). Dan Choi has the dubious honor of being President Obama’s first fired gay linguist. So, then, what’s so special about a guy named Evan Low? He just become the youngest gay mayor in America.

Not that any organization really tracks that data. Just crowned mayor of Campbell, Calif. (population: 38,000), Low is also believed to be the youngest Asian American town mayor. (Low, a city councilman, is appointed by the city council.)

And because all gays are overachievers, Low will handle his new duties while nabbing his master’s degree from San Jose State University and keeping his daytime as the senior district representative to State Assemblyman Paul Fong.

But one thing remains unclear: Is this cutie single? In a 2007 interview with Passport magazine, he wouldn’t say. The Internet, though, has a tendency to figure these things out.

      Your title is misleading and incorrect. He is not the youngest mayor in America. He’s one of the youngest but not the youngest. John Tyler Hammons and Jenny Lynn Barger are younger than him. Gay mayor, maybe, as others may be gay and not come out. But youngest mayor, no.

      ANd he still won’t fuck you, David.

      I’m curious about his politics. For those of you unfamiliar, Campbell is basically at the intersection of Interstate Highway 280 and highway 17, which is the main artery from San Jose to Santa Cruz. Its a small town known largely for its ginourmous Fry’s Electronics outlet.

      He may look young but from that picture I’m guessing he’s really a 200 year old vampire.

      Evan is a great guy- and a fantastic leader.

      Total power bottom as well.

      Great smile and I’m sure he’s winning over a lot of people with just that.

      Yet the story doesn’t mention his age or any evidence/reporting that he is the youngest gay or youngest Asian mayor.
