I Love My Hometown

Teresa Sparks was sworn in as Police Commissioner of San Francisco on June 1st. She is the first-ever transgender police commissioner. Events like this give me a bit of hope, that there are still people in this world that don't judge you according to your gender. Whatever that gender may be. No wonder the much-loved journalist, Herb Caen was known to say: "Only in San Francisco..." Sure, it's different. But so what? I am proud of my birthplace. A place of tolerance.
