Sodomy and Gomorrah and the GAVYN Awards

Gavin Newsom says he was unaware his office declared Feb. 23 to be Colt Studio Day, honoring the 40th anniversary of a San Francisco movie company whose Web site invites visitors to "come inside to experience the hottest man-on-man action." a gay porn studio. But in the wake of attacks by conservative media figures such as talk show host Bill O'Reilly -- who said the proclamation reinforced San Francisco's reputation as the nation's "Sodom and Gomorrah" -- Newsom has decided to change the policy and have any potentially controversial proclamation cleared by either his chief of staff or director of government affairs.

San Francisco has the reputation of being the world headquarters of the gay adult entertainment industry. Last weekend, the industry held the GAYVN Awards (aka GAVYN Awards) -- the Oscars for the gay porn industry -- at the Castro Theatre.

As much as the Gav hates surprises (See: Town Hall Meetings), he gets fooled again (See: 49ers; Olympics; His Chief Spokesman, Peter Ragone aka Byorn; Valentine's Day with Han Shin; His Campaign manager's wife exercising the 9th step of the 12-step program - admitting to an affair with the Mayor; finally, the Gav's crack staff prove their loyalty and professionalism [we got your back, boss] by plunging the knife further into his downward spiral cord - approving Gay Porn Day) - Sweet!

To summarize, the Gav antagonizes the conservatives; insults his gay constituency and proves he's an inept frat boy pretending to be the mayor.

Here’s how the proclamation reads: Therefore be it resolved that I, Gavin Newsom, Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco, congratulate Colt Studios on the occasion of their 40th anniversary and proclaim February 23, 2007 as Colt Studio Day in San Francisco.

Good grief, I think the Gav's mask of sobriety is starting to slip.
