I'm not sure exactly what Newsom is/was up to. Barney Frank called him and begged him not to start granting licenses to gays indicating that "it wasn't time."

I was really reacting to the amount of courage displayed by the two. Parks risked life and limb in a time when a James Byrd story would barely (if at all) have made even the local news. Newsom took a garden variety political gamble in a town where he is surrounded by those who support his decision.
