This diary is cross posted to my blog, where I've posted the shot of the mayor, in full anger, holding the deceptive flyer.
My friend, and longtime gay community photographer, Bill Wilson sent over this photo, which he took this morning, of San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom at Glide Memorial Methodist Church in the Tenderloin neighborhood. Very pleased to see Gavin deploring the direct mail piece with all his boy-king fury.
The No on 8 leadership has issued a statement calling the mailer deceptive. They've also created a TV spot, that clearly must be in response to the mailer, because it showcases Obama's visage, as "No on 8" and "divisive and discriminatory" appear on the screen. Click here to view the spot.
I extend much credit to the campaign leaders for the rapid response and including our next president's handsome face in a television ad pushing a NO vote on Prop, and also scratch my head and ask why his word and image weren't used sooner.
No word if the direct mail piece has been denounced on the Obama/Biden web site yet.
Hey Bill Wilson, thanks for getting the shot of Gavin railing against the mailer.
