Dave Roberts Brings Diversity To The San Diego County Supervisors He is the first Democrat on the board in more than two decades. He's also the first new supervisor in 18 years. And he's a gay, married father of five.

By Tony Perry, Los Angeles Times November 23, 2012 DEL MAR — In January, when he joins the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, Dave Roberts will be the only Democrat among four Republicans, the first Democrat on the board in more than two decades.

He will also be the first new supervisor in 18 years. And he will be the only one who is not a graduate of San Diego State. He has three degrees from American University in Washington, D.C.

He's also gay and married to a retired Air Force master sergeant. The two are adoptive parents to five former foster children, ages 4 to 17, who call them Daddy Dave and Daddy Wally.

With Roberts' election to a district representing a portion of San Diego and several seaside communities north of the city, diversity has arrived for the Board of Supervisors, long one of the region's most homogenous governing bodies.

"I'm going to bring some unique characteristics," Roberts, 51, said with a laugh during a family outing on the beach here.

Roberts hopes to concentrate on the same issues he focused on while serving on the Solana Beach City Council, where he is currently deputy mayor: regional fire protection, expansion of the San Dieguito River Park and "sensible" growth

The push is on full force to make homosexuality the “norm” and to marginalize the truly normal as haters. TV and commercials is now so disproportional pro homosexual compared to the actual population that it will soon be hard to find anything without its “dash” of homos included.

I understand. I just think it’s fascinating that in the PC mentality, they refuse to acknowledge the obvious, i.e., everyone on the planet needs for heterosexual activity to occur in order to come into existence and for our species to continue. This a very “inconvenient” truth for the modern day left which I’m sure they’d pass a “hate-crime” law against if they could.
