My guest is Tom Ammiano, California State Assemblyman from San Francisco, former President of the Board of Supervisors, protégé of Harvey Milk, champion of all progressive causes, and one of the first out gay comedians in San Francisco. Nowadays, a lot of people don’t know about Tom’s comedy days, but in today’s episode he talked about blazing trails, names names of the closet-cases of comedy and the homophobic bookers, and the early days of the AIDS epidemic.
