Salt Lake Tribune -- Salt Lake County Councilman Max Burdick better hope that his Republican colleagues don't see this.
The first-year councilman -- who distinguished himself less than two months after taking office as the only Republican to support health-care benefits for the same-sex partners of county employees -- made an unexpected appearance this month in the state's leading gay and lesbian magazine.
Q Salt Lake captured Burdick in a photo booth during the magazine's recent FABBY Awards bash -- which honors people and organizations that support the gay community -- pulling faces with Democratic Sen. Scott McCoy.
The councilman, who never imagined that the photos would be circulated outside the booth, soon found his face in a double-page spread in Q Salt Lake 's May 14 edition.
"Some partygoers thought being behind the curtain meant no one would see," the magazine's caption reads.
The photo strip could provide the councilman's GOP colleagues with yet another reason to complain that Burdick, whom Democrats once described as a little "r" Republican, leans too far to the left.
On the bright side, Burdick hasn't earned the recognition that he, jokingly, told The Salt Lake Tribune he most fears: "Man of the Year" from gay-rights group Equality Utah.
