San Diego has become the largest city in America with an openly gay after the remaining members of the City Council chose lesbian Councilwoman Toni Atkins to fill the position until December.

Former Mayor Dick Murphy resigned July 15 amid a massive employee pension-funding debacle.

At that point, Councilman Michael Zucchet, who held the rotating position of deputy mayor, took over.

1. Good for her...

It's just sad that she's pretty much the mayor only because the rest of the city council was crooked as sin. She's a cool chick though -- San Diego should have had a surfer as mayor long ago!

2. I don't think the lesbian is the surfer ............

I think you are thinking of Donna Frye, the woman who led the race for mayor as of last night. Atkins is just the one to hold the place until the newly elected mayor takes office.
