Homo hero and San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom *might* run for governor, says The Advocate. Though he hasn't confirmed his plans, GavGav presented himself front-and-center at the courthouse last week the day the CA Supreme Court was hearing arguments on the gay-marriage appeal. The gubernatorial race won't be happening for another two years, and so this probably counts as a snooze-flash if we ever heard one, but if only because we and almost every other gay in SF have a crush on Gavin we thought we'd throw him a post.
Our game-show-host-hunk of a mayor rose to national prominence in 2004 when he opened up City Hall to gay marriages, resulting in some overblown lesbi-centric YouTube photo montages and much flak from centrist Democrats afraid of losing the presidential election over this issue.
Other likely Democratic contenders for the Cali governorship in 2010 include former Governor Moonbeam himself, Jerry Brown, who is currently serving as the state's Attorney General, and Mary Carey, if she's still alive.
Speaking to reporters last week regarding Republican rival Arnold Schwarzenegger, Newsom said, "This governor
represents yesterday on this issue. There'll be
a governor who represents the future, and the next
governor will unquestionably, in my mind, if it's a
Democrat, support it."
