Tom Ammiano (born December 15, 1941) is an American politician and LGBT rights activist from San Francisco, California.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Ammiano, a member of the California Legislative LGBT Caucus, served as a member of the California State Assembly from 2008 to November 30, 2014. He had previously been a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and had mounted an unsuccessful bid for mayor of San Francisco in 1999. He was succeeded as California's Assemblyman for District 17 by San Francisco Board of Supervisors President David Chiu on December 1, 2014.

Early life and education

Ammiano grew up in Montclair, New Jersey, part of a working-class family of Italian Americans.<ref name="Gordon">Rachel Gordon, 2003 S.F. Mayoral Race: Ammiano leans toward center; Some say guru of progressives is now leaving the left behind, (September 22, 2003).</ref> He attended Immaculate Conception High School, graduating in 1959.<ref name="Comedian">A Gay Comedian With a School Shtick, The New York Times (December 15, 1993).</ref> Ammiano competed successfully on the school's track team and earned a varsity letter that he never received, apparently because he was perceived to be gay, an experience that he described as "humiliating". After discussing the long-time slight on the radio in 2020 while being interviewed about his book Kiss My Gay Ass, a listener reached out to the school and pleaded his case "in the interest of healing old wounds". After confirming his qualifications with a former coach and a team captain, the school relented in 2021 and sent him a letter to mark his accomplishments.<ref name=NYT2021>Pogash, Carol. "He Won a Varsity Letter at 16. He Finally Got It When He Was 79. Tom Ammiano, a well-known gay leader in San Francisco, believed his effeminate mannerisms led his New Jersey high school to deny him his letter.", The New York Times, February 28, 2021. Accessed March 1, 2021. "Mr. Ammiano, who would grow up to become one of the country's pioneering gay leaders, an early openly gay comedian and a prominent California elected official, found that he loved running long distance. He helped his team win meets and in 1958, his junior year, he won his final one-mile run.... The other day, Mr. Ammiano, who is 79, received a note in the mail from his alma mater, Immaculate Conception High School in Montclair, N.J., that contained some unexpected news — he would finally be getting his varsity letter."</ref>

Ammiano attended Seton Hall University, earning a bachelor's degree in communication in 1963.<ref name="OfficialBio">Former Supervisor Tom Ammiano: District 9, San Francisco Board of Supervisors.</ref> Hoping to leave New Jersey as far as possible in the distance<ref name=NYT2021/> he moved to San Francisco in 1963,<ref name="Gordon"/> and earned a master's degree in special education from San Francisco State University in 1965.<ref name="OfficialBio"/> Ammiano was opposed to the Vietnam War and from 1966 to 1968 was an English teacher in a small town in South Vietnam, serving with a Quaker development group.<ref name="OfficialBio"/><ref name="Miles">Sara Miles, Tom's Trip, Out (April 2000), pp. 79-81.</ref>

Career in education and comedy

After returning to San Francisco, Ammiano was a special-education teacher at Buena Vista Elementary School in the Mission.<ref name="Miles"/> In 1975, he was one of the founders of the Gay Teachers Caucus which successfully pushed the school board to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation.<ref name="Miles"/><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Ammiano also came out publicly as a gay man in a news conference that year, and became one of the first public-school teachers in San Francisco to do so.<ref name="Comedian"/><ref name="Miles"/>

In 1980, Ammiano began to perform stand-up comedy.<ref name="Comedian"/><ref name="OfficialBio"/><ref name="Miles"/>

Political activism and career

Briggs Initiative

In 1977, Ammiano, with activists Hank Wilson and Harvey Milk, co-founded "No on 6" against the Briggs Initiative, which would have banned any gay person from teaching in California. The movement achieved success the following year, in 1978.<ref name="Miles"/>

San Francisco Board of Education

In 1980 and 1988, Ammiano ran for the San Francisco Board of Education, and was elected in 1990. He was subsequently elected its vice-president in 1991, and then president in 1992. As president of the Board of Education, Ammiano was successful in his efforts to include a gay and lesbian sensitivity curriculum for all students in the San Francisco Unified School District.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

San Francisco Board of Supervisors

Among his accomplishments on the Board of Supervisors is the creation of the San Francisco Health Care Security Ordinance, which was passed by a unanimous vote of the Board of Supervisors and signed by Mayor Gavin Newsom on August 7, 2006. This made San Francisco the first city in the nation to provide universal healthcare access.<ref>The Bay Area Reporter Online|Mayor signs healthcare measure; accessed April 11, 2014.</ref><ref>Template:Usurped; accessed April 11, 2014.</ref> Ammiano was the main architect of the city's Domestic Partners Ordinance, which provides equal benefits to employees and their unmarried domestic partners. It requires companies which do business with the City and County of San Francisco to provide the same benefits. Template:Citation needed

In 1999, Ammiano came into conflict with San Francisco's Roman Catholic community when the Board of Supervisors, at Ammiano's request, granted the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a charity group of drag queen nuns, a street-closure permit for Castro Street for their 20th anniversary celebration on Easter Sunday.<ref>"Mock Nuns Hold Easter Party Despite Protests", Catholic World News, April 1999.</ref>

1999 mayoral campaign

{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}} In the San Francisco mayoral race of 1999, Ammiano mounted a successful write-in campaign in the November election, preventing the incumbent Willie Brown from achieving a victory without a run-off. While Ammiano lost that second election in December, Ammiano's campaign galvanized more radical voters in San Francisco, and had a major impact on the composition of the new, more liberal Board of Supervisors the next year. There is a documentary about the 1999 mayoral election, titled See How They Run.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

California State Assembly

Marijuana law reform efforts

Ammiano introduced Marijuana Control, Regulation, and Education Act, to the California State Assembly. The bill, introduced by Ammiano in February 2009, calling for the legalization of cannabis statewide and provided for regulation of marijuana like alcohol, with people over 21 years old allowed to grow, buy, sell and possess cannabis. With the state's severe budget shortfalls the bill was discussed in light of revenue generation as well as savings from decriminalizing and prosecuting marijuana-focused possession crimes. The bill failed the assembly's Public Safety committee by a 3–4 vote on January 12, 2010.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Ammiano introduced a bill in a subsequent Assembly to create a new statewide entity within the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to regulate and license medical marijuana in California, arguing that a patchwork of local regulations had led to the proliferation of both "legitimate and illegitimate operations" in the state.<ref name="MJBillFails">California bill regulating medical marijuana fails in Assembly Template:Webarchive, Sacramento Bee (May 29, 2014).</ref> The bill failed by a 27–30 vote, with 22 not voting, in May 2014.<ref name="MJBillFails"/>

A.B. 1266

Ammiano authored legislation, the School Success and Opportunity Act (Assembly Bill No. 1266), which "requires that a pupil be permitted to participate in sex-segregated school programs, activities, including athletic teams and competitions, and use facilities consistent with their gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on the pupil's records."<ref name="Megerian2013">Chris Megerian, Los Angeles Times, Assembly approves bill on gender identity in schools, Los Angeles Times (May 9, 2013).</ref>

The legislation passed the California State Legislature in June 2013 and was signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown in August 2013.<ref name="Skelton">George Skelton, Opponents gear up to fight transgender law, Los Angeles Times (October 20, 2013).</ref><ref name="Bidwell">Allie Bidwell, California Governor Signs Landmark Bill for Transgender Students, U.S. News & World Report (August 13, 2013).</ref> The legislation went into effect on January 1, 2014.<ref name="Skelton"/><ref name="Bidwell"/> The bill was opposed by the California Catholic Conference, which viewed the law as unnecessary.<ref name="Bidwell"/>

A group of activists made an attempt to repeal the law through a California ballot initiative,<ref name="Skelton"/> but in February 2014, the effort failed after it fell "about 17,000 signatures short of the 504,760 valid names needed to go before voters."<ref>Christopher Cadelago, Repeal of California transgender student rights bill fails, Sacramento Bee (February 24, 2014).</ref>

Schwarzenegger acrostic memo

In October 2009, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared at a Democratic Party fundraiser at San Francisco's Fairmont Hotel. When former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown introduced the governor, Ammiano shouted "You lie!" in a copy-cat of Representative Joe Wilson's remarks during President Obama's congressional address a month earlier. Ammiano walked out yelling that Schwarzenegger could "kiss my gay ass". In a video of the event, an audience member is heard yelling "Kiss my faggot ass!" at Schwarzenegger, leading some to conclude that "faggot" was what Ammiano actually said, and that "gay ass" was a censored version of the quote. However, Ammiano did not use the word "faggot", and the person yelling "kiss my faggot ass" was someone else.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Four days after the fundraiser, Schwarzenegger vetoed Assembly Bill 1176, which was authored by Ammiano to help the port of San Francisco with financing issues, and had cleared the State Senate 40–0 and the Assembly 78–0.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Schwarzenegger sent a memo to the California State Assembly explaining the veto. The letter contained a hidden message in an acrostic poem, with the first letter of each line along the left margin spelling out 'fuck you'.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="Lin, HuffPo 2010-03-18">Template:Cite news</ref> Governor Schwarzenegger denied the hidden message was inserted intentionally,<ref name="Lin, HuffPo 2010-03-18"/> but media outlets consulted a mathematics professor, who reportedly determined that the odds that it was simply a coincidence were astronomical.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In an October 30, 2019, appearance on The Late, Late Show with James Corden, Schwarzenegger admitted that he had intentionally added the message and had lied about not knowing the message was in the memo.<ref name="corden">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}Template:Cbignore</ref>

Personal life

Ammiano's partner of many years was Tim Curbo, a fellow schoolteacher. Curbo died of complications from AIDS in 1994, days before Ammiano was elected supervisor.<ref>Melanie Mason, Leftist comic still uses jokes to aid liberal agenda as lawmaker, Los Angeles Times (December 23, 2013).</ref><ref>From Fear to Fearless: The Liberation of Tom Ammiano Template:Webarchive, California Legislative LGBT Caucus.</ref>

Ammiano portrayed himself in a paid cameo appearance in the film Milk (2008), reenacting one of his protests of the Briggs Initiative.<ref>Tom Ammiano pads his pocket with 'Milk' Template:Webarchive, Sacramento Bee (March 2, 2010).</ref>
