Surely you’re just speaking on behalf of the elite. There are many in the LGBT community who appreciate Mr Mendelson (the dude who helped get gay marriage passed, which gives him honorary LGBT status in my book) and his calm methodical reasonableness; he is rarely shrill (especially for the sake of sound bites in the capitalist infotainment media); indeed, he’s usually respectful communicating with his colleagues, citizens and the media in a way that is what we’d expect from intelligent electeds. Catania’s comment was inappropriate: Councilmembers should care about what other members of the body think and come to reasonable ways to find common strategies to address issues.

Your glip article lip glossed over the misdeeds of those you seem to get behind and fluff up in this piece. Jack Evans and his cronies (ie: slum lords greedy/heartless developers who don’t care about neighborhoods and get Evans help to evade their proper tax responsibilities, ANC Commissioners who take payoffs like prostitutes and remain tight lipped about them, charlatans who Evans has given millions of dollars to (NOT) squash gang beefs, and convicted criminals who Evans has put in charge of directing Federal grant monies) surely deserve more scrutiny.
