The Obama man/crush Queerty has is really getting pathetic.

Gavin Newsome is a politician, a Democrat, and he doesn't give a rats ass about us except on Election Day in SF, when our votes count. He's for same sex marriage to get votes, just like Pelosi. He doesn't walk on water and he's no better that than any other Democratic (sic) or Republican politician, which is to say he's an opportunist hustler. <b>Politics: A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles.

Blame Yes on 8, not Newsom. In retrospect we all wish that he had used slightly weaker rhetoric, but he was speaking from the heart, and I don't think he could reasonably have foreseen that his comment would be manipulated with some success by anti-gay propagandists. So I guess Queerty would prefer that nobody ever speak passionately on behalf of gay rights since their comments could be used against the gay community? Mayor Newsom has been an aggressive advocate of gay rights. He's been one of our strongest allies, if not our strongest. And who cares if he's used that support to his political advantage? That's what politicians do, so don't act so naive. It is absurd that the editors of Queerty continue to blame Gavin Newsom for providing a soundbyte to the Yes on 8 campaign.

Why can't there be more straight guys who can be THIS cool with all humanity? He's just a really good person and I KNOW he's going to go on to MUCH bigger things in his life, he has that energy about him. Plus the fact that he is cute doesn't hurt either.

I cannot believe Queerty that you put "a lawyer" as his occupation. He is the mayor of the gayest city on the planet, one of our biggest advocates. Maybe it was an oversight but still a strange one.

His hand gesturing is cute in the shot. Anyway, I just wish the Yes on 8 lot weren't given ammo by way of Newsom's quote about the people of Cali having to accept our marriage rights "whether they like it or not" as it could cause some defiant backlash + hurt us in the long run.
