John Laird served as one of the only openly gay mayors in the country from 1983-1984 and then again from 1987-1988 in Santa Cruz. He then became one of the two first gay men (along with Mark Leno) on the California State Legislature when he served as a Assemblyman for District 27 from 2002-2008.
In the following video (after a brief bio) Laird gives a speech in tribute to parents at the Queer Youth Leadership Awards.
