Assemblyman Mark Leno held a press conference at the LGBT Center, urging the Governor to sign a bill that would validate gay marriage. There was a Franciscan friar standing up near the front (they’re the ones in the brown robes, right?) taking pictures.

I left when people were starting to prepare for the march down Market Street, and overtook the friar, who had left before me. He was standing on Market in his robe and a baseball cap, chatting amiably with a homeless man.

“Chinese girls get me hot,” the homeless guy was saying, sounding confessional and a little worried. “But white girls are great, too.” It was obvious from his voice that he was on the horns of a real dilemma.

“Well, good luck with that,” the friar said cheerfully, straightened his cap and walked on into the falling dark.
