Born in 1944, Walker said the breadth of change in how the courts perceive gay rights is something that “I could not have imagined in my wildest dreams.” For emphasis, he added that the shift has been “utterly unimaginable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recalling that day in 2009 when he first noticed a complaint in his “in box” titled Perry v. Schwarzenegger, it was, he said, “my oh-shit moment.” He realized the importance of the case challenging Prop. 8, but said he never thought it would attract the media attention it has. The Prop. 8 case is, he said, “the gift that keeps on giving.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Walker, the most fascinating moment in the March 26 oral arguments at the Supreme Court was this exchange between Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Prop. 8 attorney Charles Cooper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: Outside of the - outside of the marriage context, can you think of any other rational basis, reason, for a state using sexual orientation as a factor in denying homosexuals benefits or imposing burdens on them? Is there any other rational decision ... that the Government could make? Denying them a job, not granting them benefits of some sort, any other decision?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MR.

I do not have any -- anything to offer you in that regard.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->It was, said Walker, “a remarkable exchange” highlighting the extent to which equal treatment for gays and lesbians has become embedded in our culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And why did Walker choose to hold a trial with witnesses, rather than just take briefs and make a ruling?\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>Walker said the breadth of change in how the courts perceive LGBT rights is something, “I could not have imagined in my wildest dreams.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“Trials have a cleansing effect,” he said. “It’s not always a Perry Mason moment, but there’s nothing like putting someone on the witness stand” and making them answer questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the meeting, Walker and I strolled over to the Hyatt Regency, where we had a wide-ranging discussion about the Prop. 8 trial and the Supreme Court's pending decision. That was off the record, though I can say he drinks a Hendrick's gin martini up with two olives. And also: the judge says that unlike those of us in the media who are up early on SCOTUS decision days to catch first word of the ruling, he's a lot less obsessed with the case's final outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at his talk with attorneys, Walker paraphrased former civil rights leader John Lewis, saying, “The leaders are scrambling to keep up with the people.

Walker, who wrote the 2010 decision invalidating Proposition 8\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ever since he struck down Proposition 8 in 2010, former federal judge Vaughn Walker has maintained a certain distance from the case. That’s probably wise, given that the Supreme Court has yet to make a final determination on his ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when Walker called and invited me to hear him speak about LGBT legal issues before a gathering of 25 or so criminal defense attorneys Monday night, how could I resist?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the meeting, Walker outlined the history of homosexuality and the law. Born in 1944, Walker said the breadth of change in how the courts perceive gay rights is something that “I could not have imagined in my wildest dreams.” For emphasis, he added that the shift has been “utterly unimaginable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recalling that day in 2009 when he first noticed a complaint in his “in box” titled Perry v. Schwarzenegger, it was, he said, “my oh-shit moment.” He realized the importance of the case challenging Prop. 8, but said he never thought it would attract the media attention it has. The Prop. 8 case is, he said, “the gift that keeps on giving.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Walker, the most fascinating moment in the March 26 oral arguments at the Supreme Court was this exchange between Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Prop. 8 attorney Charles Cooper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: Outside of the - outside of the marriage context, can you think of any other rational basis, reason, for a state using sexual orientation as a factor in denying homosexuals benefits or imposing burdens on them? Is there any other rational decision ... that the Government could make? Denying them a job, not granting them benefits of some sort, any other decision?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MR. COOPER: Your Honor, I cannot. I do not have any -- anything to offer you in that regard.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->It was, said Walker, “a remarkable exchange” highlighting the extent to which equal treatment for gays and lesbians has become embedded in our culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That was off the record, though I can say he drinks a Hendrick's gin martini up with two olives. And also: the judge says that unlike those of us in the media who are up early on SCOTUS decision days to catch first word of the ruling, he's a lot less obsessed with the case's final outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at his talk with attorneys, Walker paraphrased former civil rights leader John Lewis, saying, “The leaders are scrambling to keep up with the people.

I come from Florida, not SF where it is OK to hold hands with another guy and straight people do not care. This is all about a straight team with three gay people on it. That's not inclusive.

The biggest challenge we’ve had is ... actively recruiting these new LGBT players and providing a practice environment that allows them to develop and become water polo players when most of them have had no experience.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So could the team, which competes primarily against straight clubs, perform better if they recruited even more non-LGBT players?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Absolutely,” he said. “That’s what we’ve had to try to moderate against.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked him if he could ever see the team becoming predominantly straight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The thing about water polo in the Bay Area,\" he said, \"is that there are many masters [adult competitive] teams out there, and other than our team, they’re all pretty much straight-identified. There are not so many options for LGBT folks that want to learn how to play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do a lot of fundraising, and it’s practically all in the LGBT community, and I would not like a situation where we’re doing our fundraising ... and we’re not an LGBT team. If we’re fundraising in the community … our players should reflect that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frank Vella, the current president of the club, agreed that the team felt strongly about maintaining its LGBT identity, but that “our reality is that we aren’t a very popular sport, and if we get too hung up on labels we risk alienating our straight allies and impacting our numbers, our ability to pay for pool time and coaching, and ultimately our strength as a team.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vella said that although he purposely joined a gay team in order to feel comfortable being out, he feels relaxed with his straight teammates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wasn’t sure how other teams would react to having a gay member on their team,\" he said. \"Now that I’ve been on Tsunami, I’ve seen that a lot of our players are friends with other [straight players] on other teams, and I’ve realized that maybe there was a little fear on my part that didn’t translate to the reality of the situation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tsunami synchronized swimming team has seen an even bigger change in the sexual orientation of its members. Katie McCall, a former board member who still swims with the team (and who happens to be my sister-in-law), said the team started out in 2000 at almost 100 percent gay men but is currently down to less than a third that. The team now consists mostly of straight women. As with the water polo team, she thinks it has been much easier to recruit players who already have experience in the sport, which is almost exclusively dominated by females.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCall said she worries about the changing gender/orientation demographic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It seems to me like some of the straight women aren't as tied to the community of the swim team,\" she said. \"One has to be willing to brave the gay male scene at bars like The LookOut or Hi Tops to participate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team's founder, Bob Wheeler, said he has \"mixed feelings” about its current makeup. “They brought a lot of expertise to the team that we didn’t have, so we’ve learned a lot,\" he said of the straight swimmers. \"But on some level it’s become less unique. Now it’s primarily women and a few men, so it just sort of seems it loses some specialness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Kennedy, from Tsunami Water Polo, said the straight members on his team have gone the extra mile to fit in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea of sexual orientation -- maybe it’s just this new generation, they’re not so hung up about the gay-straight thing. … They paint their toenails, they like to go to our fundraisers and wear a Speedo. I think it might just be a change in the times. Twenty- and 30-year-olds have less of an issue [with] playing on a gay team, ‘I need to guard my masculinity.’ The players that we attract don’t have those kind of issues by and large.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which brings up an interesting question ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why exactly do straight people want to play on gay teams?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My buddy Dan O’Connell, who is straight, has been playing in gay softball tournaments for 15 years. He had this to say about his fondness for these events:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I love the atmosphere of inclusiveness and camaraderie and team spirit that is much more consistent than in straight male leagues. It’s also great to be in a space with gay people where they can be themselves. If they are more macho, they can be macho. If they're [more feminine], they can be that way. If they can be both at different times, then they are both at different times. People can be themselves in a way they can't be at, say, work, even if they are out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for me, I like the emphasis on sportsmanship and keeping the rabidity you often find in sports at any level to a minimum. As I wrote in my original post, I like to win, too, yet I have never felt the need to trash-talk opponents when there are metal bats in proximity. You don't see a lot of that in the SFGSL. And there’s really something to be said for a league in which chants of “ya gotta hit to run, ya gotta run to score, ya gotta score to win!” can break out at any moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any event, as other gay professional athletes declare their sexual orientation, as is bound to happen at some point now that the \u003ca href=\"http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/magazine/news/20130429/jason-collins-gay-nba-player/\" target=\"_blank\">NBA's Jason Collins has taken the plunge\u003c/a>, it will be interesting to see if the idea of gay leagues becomes passe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are definitely arguments for moving past the idea of having a 'gay team,' as homosexuality becomes more mainstream and we seek acceptance within a broader community,” said Frank Vella, of Tsunami Water Polo. “But then again … I think [a gay team] serves a greater purpose by letting gays and lesbians know there is a place for them ... where they will never have to fear discrimination, prejudice or rejection for who they are.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

When I heard Gay Softball, I tried it and loved it. If straight guys were there, I would not have gone. I come from Florida, not SF where it is OK to hold hands with another guy and straight people do not care. This is all about a straight team with three gay people on it. That's not inclusive. The rule is about balance and majority, not about exclusivity or telling straights they are not welcome. Since all the straight people are on the same team, what does this really promote?\u003cbr>\n--Robert\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My concern with the 70/30 rule is that we're essentially saying that manager/coaches or players that bring straight players to the league don't have the proper judgment as to the players' characters. Are we gays really that stupid? Limiting participation of straights that are kind, honest, respectable is reverse discrimination to me.\u003cbr>\n--JO\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rule, while it may have been well-intended in the beginning, I believe now is divisive, proven by the process that occurred in Seattle [at the Gay World Series].

The report refers to Moore by her legal first name, Xavier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Controversy escalated in the months since Moore’s death. The Berkeley Police Review Commission \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/03/28/berkeley-investigators-probe-police-role-in-transgender-womans-death/\">opened an investigation\u003c/a> into the incident, and family members called for information to be released at a Berkeley City Council meeting April 30. \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2013/05/01/emotional-pleas-prompt-call-for-kayla-moore-report/\">The meeting erupted\u003c/a> into a shouting match between Mayor Tom Bates and protesters, and police removed a Moore family friend from the meeting. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It didn't matter which officers showed up or who showed up,\" Berkeley Police Chief Michael Meehan said in reference to criticism that mental health personnel or specially trained officers should have responded to a call about someone suffering a mental health crisis. \"The poison is in his system, and there's nothing anybody can do to take it out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alameda County coroner found that Kayla Moore died with potentially toxic levels of methamphetamine and codeine. Police and the coroner found glass pipes with steel wool commonly associated with meth or crack cocaine smoking. The coroner also listed obesity and an enlarged heart as contributing factors in Moore's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Statements from neighbors and other people who knew Moore depict a person who was often kind with a sunny personality. Some neighbors reported that Moore could act strangely, knocking on their doors and asking for cigarettes or talking about drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A psychiatric symptom called anhedonia, which is associated with many illnesses and is basically the inability to experience pleasure, can be at \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3089992/\">the root of drug addiction\u003c/a> for people with schizophrenia, said David Fariello, director of UCSF's Division of Community Services and a licensed clinical social worker for 33 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the things that's typical with schizophrenia is having difficulty engaging socially and feeling connected,\" he said. \"One of the things that crack or amphetamine or uppers do is it immediately gives you this sense of energy and involvement and connection.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that it's a short-term fix, though, and that meth leads to increased paranoia and that prolonged use can intensify hallucinations associated with schizophrenia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three Berkeley police officers initially headed for Moore's apartment downtown in the Gaia Building after Moore's roommate called to report a heated argument, and said Moore might need to \"5150'd,\" or involuntarily confined for a mental health evaluation, according to police reports. Moore's family members have said she has been taken into custody under \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=wic&group=05001-06000&file=5150-5157\">California Welfare and Institutions Code 5150\u003c/a> multiple times in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers first spoke to Moore in the hallway outside her fifth-floor apartment. Police reports by the officers describe Moore as agitated and confused. She said she needed to contact the FBI and that the FBI had been following her, and called officers random names or appeared to be talking to people who were not there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fariello said acute mental crises often occur late at night, sometimes after days of trouble sleeping. As a crisis begins, people become unable to mask their symptoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Things could keep growing until voices get really intrusive and become difficult to tolerate, and they might get more and more confused,\" Fariello said. He added these could lead to increased adrenaline and a fight-or-flight state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During their conversation, police discovered there was a warrant out for Moore for battery in San Francisco and decided to detain her for a 5150 evaluation and possible warrant arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two officers initially grabbed each hand and attempted to restrain the 350-pound Moore, but they were overpowered, according to their reports and transcriptions of interviews with Berkeley homicide detectives. The struggle ended on a mattress inside Moore's apartment, and three more officers, plus two sergeants, arrived and helped put handcuffs and a leg restraint on Moore, who was kicking and screaming, according to police reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When someone is really psychotic, they have strength two to three times normal,\" Fariello said. \"Your adrenaline is running, you're psychotic, people are out to get you, and you're flailing out to save your life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One officer reported Moore suddenly \"kind of stopped fighting,\" after she was handcuffed. They rolled her onto her side, still on the mattress. About a minute later, another officer realized Moore was not breathing and had no pulse. Police removed the handcuffs, began CPR and called for paramedics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore couldn't be resuscitated and was pronounced dead at 1:34 a.m. on Feb. 13 at Alta Bates Hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Berkeley Police Department's probe into the in-custody death of Moore was concluded with the completion of the Alameda County coroner's report on April 23.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore's family members said they planned to go over the report with an attorney today and have no further comment at this time.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Police and the coroner found glass pipes with steel wool commonly associated with meth or crack cocaine smoking. The coroner also listed obesity and an enlarged heart as contributing factors in Moore's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Statements from neighbors and other people who knew Moore depict a person who was often kind with a sunny personality. Some neighbors reported that Moore could act strangely, knocking on their doors and asking for cigarettes or talking about drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A psychiatric symptom called anhedonia, which is associated with many illnesses and is basically the inability to experience pleasure, can be at \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3089992/\">the root of drug addiction\u003c/a> for people with schizophrenia, said David Fariello, director of UCSF's Division of Community Services and a licensed clinical social worker for 33 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the things that's typical with schizophrenia is having difficulty engaging socially and feeling connected,\" he said. \"One of the things that crack or amphetamine or uppers do is it immediately gives you this sense of energy and involvement and connection.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that it's a short-term fix, though, and that meth leads to increased paranoia and that prolonged use can intensify hallucinations associated with schizophrenia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three Berkeley police officers initially headed for Moore's apartment downtown in the Gaia Building after Moore's roommate called to report a heated argument, and said Moore might need to \"5150'd,\" or involuntarily confined for a mental health evaluation, according to police reports. Moore's family members have said she has been taken into custody under \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=wic&group=05001-06000&file=5150-5157\">California Welfare and Institutions Code 5150\u003c/a> multiple times in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers first spoke to Moore in the hallway outside her fifth-floor apartment. Police reports by the officers describe Moore as agitated and confused. She said she needed to contact the FBI and that the FBI had been following her, and called officers random names or appeared to be talking to people who were not there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fariello said acute mental crises often occur late at night, sometimes after days of trouble sleeping. As a crisis begins, people become unable to mask their symptoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Things could keep growing until voices get really intrusive and become difficult to tolerate, and they might get more and more confused,\" Fariello said. He added these could lead to increased adrenaline and a fight-or-flight state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During their conversation, police discovered there was a warrant out for Moore for battery in San Francisco and decided to detain her for a 5150 evaluation and possible warrant arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two officers initially grabbed each hand and attempted to restrain the 350-pound Moore, but they were overpowered, according to their reports and transcriptions of interviews with Berkeley homicide detectives. The struggle ended on a mattress inside Moore's apartment, and three more officers, plus two sergeants, arrived and helped put handcuffs and a leg restraint on Moore, who was kicking and screaming, according to police reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When someone is really psychotic, they have strength two to three times normal,\" Fariello said. \"Your adrenaline is running, you're psychotic, people are out to get you, and you're flailing out to save your life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One officer reported Moore suddenly \"kind of stopped fighting,\" after she was handcuffed. They rolled her onto her side, still on the mattress. About a minute later, another officer realized Moore was not breathing and had no pulse. Police removed the handcuffs, began CPR and called for paramedics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore couldn't be resuscitated and was pronounced dead at 1:34 a.m. on Feb. 13 at Alta Bates Hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Berkeley Police Department's probe into the in-custody death of Moore was concluded with the completion of the Alameda County coroner's report on April 23.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore's family members said they planned to go over the report with an attorney today and have no further comment at this time.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

These 15 people are part of what is called the SF Pride Electoral College, comprised of former SF Pride Grand Marshals. However, as an organization with a responsibility to serve the broader community, SF Pride repudiates this vote. The Board of Directors for SF Pride never voted to support this nomination.
