Published since 2005. San Francisco is a city that belongs to the people of the world. Hence this blog has a global focus. The name "Sam Spade's San Francisco" refers to an exciting era in the City's history, the time of Dashiell Hammett's fictional gumshoe and San Francisco character, Sam Spade. My name is Tom Dunn and I edit the blog. I'm not as exciting as Sam Spade, but I am definitely a San Francisco character.Contact or on Twitter -- Search blog below.

Marriage Equality Field Poll
San Francisco - The Field Poll released yesterday shows that California overwhelmingly supports fairness and equal treatment for its lesbian and gay citizens. The poll asked 1,000 California adults their opinion on a wide range of issues, including how same-sex couples should be treated under the law. By a 3 - 1 margin, Californians support extending comprehensive legal protections to lesbian and gay couples; 44% registered voters would support a bill legalizing marriage for same-sex couples.
The report, complete with charts, was published by the Sacramento Bee and may be read here.You may also read more here in this article published by the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Equality California (EQCA) website has also covered the story in detail and may be read here.

You didn't mention anything about the election for Governor coming up next November. Steve Westly supported gay and lesbian rights when he was teaching at Stanford. He has been a friend of the LGBT community all his life. Let's get behind him and support him with our votes. Here is the URL to his campaign web site: http://www.westly2006.com
