Starchild, Erotic Escort,
Comes Last in SF Board of Ed Race

The perennial libertarian, bisexual, erotic services provider and intelligent political thinker known as Starchild ran for the board of education in November's election and he didn't do so badly.
Sure, he came in last, but he microscopically missed getting 3% of the vote, his tally was 2.99%, but that percentage equals 13,616 votes. That number ain't nothing to sneeze at, and Starchild got it in a city-wide race. I was one of those votes for him.
While we lack official numbers how many people work in the local adult erotic culture, I don't think the figure would come to more than 1,000, leading me to think this Starchild guy reaches a sizable constituency beyond his home-base. Give the man his well-earned political credit.
Do you think it's safe to say San Francisco is the only city to see such a seasoned and alternative candidate of a few stripes, seek a seat on the local education board, and garner votes in the solid double-digits?
