[SFConservative]

Mark Leno is a single-issue moron the likes of which could only come out of SF ("the world's largest open-air insane asylum" - Lee Rodgers) and the only thing that would seriously bother him would be getting his rump privileges cut off. Balancing State budgets is not what he is about and he will spend all his time working on "rights" for fringe elements that are completely out of the moral mainstream.

Sadly, he is making life difficult for the majority of gay couples in SF who are perfectly satisfied with domestic partnerships. I had several of those couples as neighbors; they didn't "flamboy" and just want wanted to live a quiet life. Leno and the activist fringe supporting him are about political power and punishing those that disagree with them. What is hard to understand is why San Franciscans, a majority of whom is still straight, keep voting this radical back into office.

You gotta wonder why Barney Frank keeps getting reelected by a constituency with so many Catholics. I think in areas dominated by political machines the majority votes by rote or sample ballots pre-marked for them.
