Rochman, Sue. "The Marrying Man." The Advocate. Vol. 001896, No. 1005, April 2008: pp. 40-45.
This is a feature about San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who openly performs gay marriages. Many people told him this would be the end of his career, but this is not the case. However, what makes this article valuable is the plethora of background information it offers on the political climate in America in relation to gay marriage. The reporter does an excellent job of concisely and choronologically explaining most major events in this arena since 2004. The facts in the article also question the assumption that supporting LGBT rights would ruin the political career of an individual.
