Anna Conda For President: Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club Elects First Drag Queen President (VIDEO)

On January 24, the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club -- an LGBT politically active group better known as the Milk Club -- is expected to elect drag queen Glendon "Anna Conda" Hyde as the new club president. The appointment will mark the first drag queen president for the club.

Hyde, a famed entertainer, is heavily involved in local politics and ran for District 6 Supervisor in 2010. During the campaign, Hyde promoted progressive issues including the decriminalization of homelessness, taxation of non-medical cannabis, citywide rent control, affordable housing, safe injection sites and AIDS prevention and promotion of nightlife, arts and culture.

"It's a great city," she said in a video interview while campaigning. "It's really allowed me to open up and have a more fulfilling life. That's why I want to be part of defending it."

Check out Hyde in the video interview during the 2010 campaign, and then a video from a Milk Club dinner below. Congratulations, Anna Conda!

I read this story and the people who commented on the story about the teacher in Livermore who had sex with her male student were shocked. Does anyone see what's wrong with this picture?
