Check out this moving speech recently made by San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders, at which he is joined by his wife Rana at his side, and in which he explains why he changed his mind on the issue of signing the resolution in support of gay marriage. This brave civic leader and former Chief of Police, who is clearly emotional throughout this September 19th speech, says that in coming to his decision had to, "Reflect and search my soul for the right thing to do.....to take a stand on the behalf of equality and social justice.." And he notes the fact that some of his friends, colleagues, and family members are gay and lesbian - citing his eldest of two daughters, Lisa, as well as some of his staff members. Already critics of Sanders, who is Republican, have bashed him saying that he only made the decision because of his daughter being gay and that he doesn't deserve kudos for being brave or for having integrity. But I disagree. I say he is truly practicing "family values" and I commend this man a 100% and just wish we had more civic leaders and politicians who would even admit that they had made a wrong decision.
