San Franciscans are understandably proud of their quirky liberal heritage, but our town’s lovable eccentrics aren’t confined to the political left. Indeed, it’s difficult to imagine another city where a doctrinaire Libertarian who moonlights as a bisexual escort and exotic dancer could become a permanent fixture in the political firmament. This has been the accomplishment of Starchild — born Chris Fox, he legally changed his name 12 years ago — an evergreen supervisorial candidate and Fabio-esque hunk who has received attention in such prominent Libertarian publications as Reason magazine. In 2007, the ‘Child managed to beat the rap on a set of prostitution charges in Fremont, telling the Bay Area Reporter at the time, “We were not denying I might have committed prostitution on other occasions; we were just saying I didn’t do it on this occasion.” Who says Barack Obama holds the patent on eloquence?

Was there any competition for the title?
4 Nicholas Sarwark // May 20, 2010 at 10:12 pm
Well done Starchild!

It’s San Francisco. I imagine the competition was fierce.

SF Weekly editors earn the BBBJs I gave them
San Francisco’s alternative weekly newspaper SF Weekly blessed me with some lovely press today, unaccountably listing me as the very
first entry in the print edition of their annual “Best Of San Francisco” issue
BBBJs = blowjobs without a condom

Hehe nicely done.

First entry in the “best of” for a major city? I’d say that’s impressive.

Thanks, everyone, and IPR for publishing! My emailed comment about the heavy competition was totally tongue-in-cheek — I suspect I’m the only political activist/bisexual escort in town, although it’s not inconceivable there are others. SF Weekly is known for their quirky “best of” category titles.
Coincidentally, I also just yesterday got prominent mention in a New York Times article about opposition to a proposed law in San Francisco that would criminalize people for sitting or lying on public sidewalks in the city:
