sure it has proven to be one of the more unusual aspects of this campaign. Some of the politicians who usually seek the vote the most are far less enthusiastic this year. Meanwhile, politicians normally wouldn't even consider going after the gay vote now are seeking it with

00:00:41.920 - 00:01:12.140

newfound zeal. Elections are due to gay political cloud in san Francisco. I think it would destroy any gay political class that we've managed to achieve over the years, over the last five years, we've turned the city around, we have

00:01:12.150 - 00:01:28.040

better representation than we've ever had in the past. And the reason we have that is because we've managed to convince politicians that we have numbers and when you draw lines and make district elections and put us into different areas, different ghettos, we don't have those numbers

00:01:28.040 - 00:02:00.520

and we will not have that political clout consequently, but its disease possibly. Yes. Gary and Arquilla what they who they Yes, I do. I think, I think Miami had a great deal of effect on the attitude by the local politicians here about the gay community. They're

00:02:00.520 - 00:02:18.420

not concerned about the I don't think there was concerned about the gay community not supporting them as they're concerned about the straight community, not supporting them because of their obvious public connection with the gay community. How do you feel about the perceive as community leaders and

00:02:18.420 - 00:02:40.730

asked the community leaders to take a low profile not to do benefits that connect obvious gay organizations with the no on B campaigns. Ah I've never been one that could be delivered in the traditional sense, most observers expect the gay community to vote their liberal instincts

00:02:40.730 - 00:02:48.870

on the issue, but it remains to be seen whether they will do so and substantial numbers, given all the unusual attitudes of the politicians this year.
