Marriage equality hero Dennis Herrera.

Whether you like it or not, Gavin Newsom’s campaign for marriage equality has been a controlled performance from the get-go.

Gavin took no position on marriage equality during his first run for Mayor in 2003, but his main opponent did.

When Newsom and his political consultants realized that many LGBT leaders and activists didn’t support his first Mayoral campaign, Gavin realized he needed to win them over with his budding political career.

Gavin bought the idea for same sex marriage from his paid political consultant Eric Jaye, the PG&E money maker.

So, the man-child mayor isn’t this story’s real hero — he’s just the pretty face and hair.

The real hero of marriage equality is this guy San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera and his legal team in the City Attorney’s office.

If you live outside the city you’ve probably never heard of Dennis the Civil Rights Menace:

The mayor may get all the credit, or blame, for pushing the marriage-equality issue before the Supreme Court, but the person who deserves it—San Francisco’s real Marrying Man—is Herrera.

Seems that the brain of Gavin W. Bush is actually in the office of his paid political consultant and the city attorney’s office.
