^ Separate is not equal | On gay marriage, 'whether you like it or not' | Full program (1 hr. 7 min.)

"Gavin Christopher Newsom is the current mayor of San Francisco. A Democrat, Newsom was elected mayor in 2003, succeeding Willie Brown and becoming San Francisco's youngest mayor in 100 years.

Newsom drew voter attention with his Care Not Cash program, designed to move homeless people into city assisted care.

...Newsom's unexpected move brought national attention to the issues of gay marriage and gay rights, solidifying political support for Newsom in San Francisco and in the gay community, and causing several other states to change their laws concerning marriage and gay rights. Newsom is viewed in many political circles as a potential candidate for governor in the 2010 gubernatorial election."

Gavin Newsom gives a damn. And as Mayor of San Francisco he's willing to put civil rights forward while taking a step back for himself because he gives a damn, painting his city in more beautiful shades of humanity.
