Adams is the first MALE homosexual mayor. Some things never change. How many females does it take to equal one male, eh?</p> <p> Next thing you know males will be in charge of the wars and everything. Oh, wait, that could be a problem already.</p> Ok I think I get it. Adams is the first MALE homosexual mayor. Some things never change. How many females does it take to equal one male, eh?

Sorry. In SF it would help him politically to be gay in any case; it’s certainly helped him to be Mr. Gay Marriage. Newsom’s been to the right of the city he governs on most issues, the board of supervisors has been against him on most things (Newsom’s the ally of developers and business), but by being the champion of gay rights he’s kept credibility with progressives.</p> Despite his metrosexual appearance, Gavin Newsom plays for the straight team, so much so that he got into trouble for an affair with his secretary, the wife of his good friend and campaign manager.
