San Diego council votes lesbian Toni Atkins new mayor
San Diego council votes lesbian Toni Atkins new mayor San Diego became the largest city in America with an openly gay mayor when the remaining members of the City Council chose lesbian Councilwoman Toni Atkins to fill the position until December. Former Mayor Dick Murphy resigned last month amid a massive employee pension-funding debacle. Councilman Michael Zucchet, who held the rotating position of deputy mayor, took over. But, three days later, Zucchet and Councilman Ralph Inzunza were convicted of multiple felonies in a case involving bribes from a strip-club owner who wanted a no-touch law repealed. Anyway, they resigned and an emergency vote was held at a lesbian was selected as San Diego's mayor! Who cares how it happened actually, it's great news. Congratulations Toni Atkins!�[Date: 10-Aug-05 ]
