Quotation

"I'm certainly aware of that fact [of San Diego being the largest U.S. city with an openly gay mayor]. I know that it has significance for our LGBT community, so it is something that I take seriously. I think it's a huge responsibility, so I'm very much aware of it and I hope that it's a good thing for our community." - Washington Blade
