San Diego has a long reputation as a mecca of political conservatism, but that image could crumble after the resignation Friday of its mayor, Bob Filner, in the face of allegations of sexual harassment. His replacement will be a gay man, making San Diego the nation's second-largest city to be led by an openly gay person.
The City Council voted 7-0 Friday to approve a deal to accept Filner's resignation in exchange for covering some of his legal expenses related to the harassment allegations involving city employees. A spokesman for California Attorney General Kamala Harris said Friday that Harris has opened a criminal investigation into Filner but declined to elaborate.
According to the City Charter rules, City Council President Todd Gloria will become acting mayor when Filner, the city's first Democratic mayor in 20 years, leaves office Friday. An election will be held within 90 days.
Including Gloria, at least four of the potential candidates lining up to replace Filner are gay, including one Republican. It's another significant milestone in the ascending political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community when the nation's eighth-largest city - and one with a well-earned conservative reputation - has a gay chief executive.

Some people really hate these “gay” guys because of all the disease and lies and hatred and degradation that they spread. However, and even if it sounds crazy for a moment please bear with me, God’s Spirit has got me in a pincer hold. And God has made it very clear to me that He wants to save, wash, and renew as many of these grim people as possible. He’s not there in heaven with any grudges against them. That is why He sent His Son to sacrifice His life upon the cross of Calvary. They’re the ones with grudges against Him! The troubles they have are a very loud signal that they need the Lord. Whoever dares to effectively share the great news of the gospel with them is going to get richly blessed, and will also gain a new set of witnesses to God’s love and glory. We’re all losers in our fallenness. But God is the winner, always has been, always will be. If Satan digs a hole, God fills it twice as much. Let’s see these people as God does — as prospective resources for His kingdom. Not wimpily merely doing a rope a dope on His forgiveness after salvation (as much as that is needed for every Christian), but claiming His bold love. Which WILL sanctify their bodies if they exalt Him to that purpose. Not MIGHT... WILL! And it will be a huge in-your-face to Satan as all the physical and emotional resources that had been dedicated to sin come under the “God’s spell” of Christ’s righteousness.
Let me tell you brothers and sisters. When we see the “gays” getting saved openly, we will know without a doubt God is in our land again. It’s going on now, has been for decades, but in private settings and the people are shy because they get a lot of opprobrium. Boldness needs to be brought back into the picture. The Lion of Judah did not come to this wicked earth to meow in a corner!
And when Houston’s lesbian mayor is term limited out, she’ll probably be replaced by the gay prostitute trolling George Greanias.
So now guys will be hit upon.
Despicable.
It’s part of the ongoing Democrats’ War on Women.
