a friend to check out the candidates but was most interested in hearing Denise McCarthy.  I told him that Peskin is backing McCarthy and Chiu.  His face turned

http://ebar.com/news/article.php?sec=news&amp;article=3237

<br>
The reason for the decline of gay political clout in SF is the overall success of the gay liberation movement nationally. Thirty years ago, the principal
places in the U.S. that were safe for openly gay people were New York City, San Francisco, Hollywood, and a few other oases.

Today it&#39;s safe to be openly gay in hundreds of towns and cities across America. The most creative... ]]></description>

&quot;The legislation would give priority both to the children and grandchildren of those displaced and would entitle them to certificates of preferences that
would put them at the front of the line for the city&#39;s affordable housing lottery. The certificates of preference apply to all affordable housing in San
Francisco including both non-profit projects and for-profit inclusionary units.&quot;
<br>
Sounds like an impractical idea designed to garner votes. ]]></description>
