Tom Ammiano is San Francisco’s highest profile politician since Harvey Milk. In the 1970s, Tom and Hank Wilson were inseparable friends and allies, starting the Gay Teachers Coalition and, together with Harvey Milk, the Bay Area Coalition Against the Briggs Initiative which played a key role in defeating the national wave of homophobic campaigns spearheaded by Anita Bryant. Tom is also a stand-up comedian, and the man who famously told then-CA Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to “kiss my gay ass.”
