What seems to happen in cases like this is that someone put themselves out there. They know the risks, but persist in spite of them. During the Civil Rights Movement, it was Rosa Parks. During the current situation, it's Gavin Newsom.
And in these kinds of situations, the stars just seem to align at the right time. Newsom has only been in office a few months, the issue has been simmering for a few years now, the MA Supreme Court ruling came out, San Francisco is a gay-friendly city and it's both a city and county (like Philadelphia).
Imagine what would happen if no one ever stuck their neck out...where we would be not only as a country but as a society?
