San Francisco as Metaphor
Gay life in San Francisco isn't special enough to warrant code word status anymore: don't flatter yourselves. Perhaps for some it's now code for 'illegal gay marriage,' or 'grandstanding mayor.' Even Democrats I know think use it as code for 'smug, lefty monoculture:' your piece and ensuing comments don't disappoint. But if a picture is worth a thousand words, how much will you give me for a one of Nancy Pelosi hugging Cindy Sheehan next to another of Cindy Sheehan hugging Hugo Chavez? Two heartbeats from the Presidency and two degrees of hugging from Fidel? You cannot be serious! Maybe San Franciso is just code for Nancy Pelosi, and you're overthinking things.
