don't you love it when politicians stop being politicians and let their emotions slip through? republican mayor of San Diego, Jerry Sanders, recently gave a press conference explaining why he was supporting the recently passed city council resolution allowing San Diego to join several other California cities in filing briefs in support of same-sex marriage, an issue currently before California's Supreme Court.
when he ran for office, he would only go as far as expressing support for civil unions. here, with great conviction and real emotion, he explains why he now supports full marriage rights. watch the video...

Lisa Sanders, Jerry Sanders lesbian daughter, said of her dad: "I'm just very proud of my father. And to be a part of this. It's about equality, and he's doing the right thing, and I'm very confident in him."
Jerry Sanders won't always be mayor of San Diego, but he will always be the man who did right by his loved ones, which is so much more important.
