S. Calif. Gay Mayor Under Guard Following Threats

http://www.365gay.com/Newscon05/11/111805sanDiego.htm

The openly gay mayor of San Diego's largest suburb is under special protection following a series of threats.

Chula Vista Mayor Steve Padilla came out publicly in July, making the city the second-largest municipality in America with an openly gay mayor. (story)

Last July, in addition to his duties as mayor, he was appointed to the California Coastal Commission, the powerful state agency that oversees development along the state's 1,100-mile coast.

The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that Chula Vista has hired a former police officer who was trained by FBI in special weapons and tactics to guard Padilla.

Damn! How much free time do these haters have, anyway?
