Straight, But Not Narrow... Gavin Newsom

Gavin Newsom is the former mayor of San Francisco & current Lieutenant Governor of the great state of California. He’s is unashamedly in favor of full equality for gay people & he has always been a strong voice for us. There are very few politicians as open as this handsome man. I am pinning my hopes on Newsom being president some day. He turns 44 years old today.

"Not every Democrat in Washington agrees with gay marriage. But I will make the case, based on some strong evidence that an overwhelming majority do. But they just can’t say it. & that is a limitation that is causing more damage than the issue. Because, again, it shows a weakness of character.

This is really one of the great final civil rights struggles, & again I say to my colleagues in the Democratic party: Why are you a Democrat if you can’t stand on a fundamental construct that has always distinguished our party. That we didn’t sit around. We advanced the issues of equality. We engaged the American people head on.”
