Gay rights activist Larry Brinkin charged with possession of child pornography

After 22 years at the Human Rights Commission, former employee Larry Brinkin has been charged with possession of child pornography.

SFGate: 

During his 22-year tenure at the Human Rights Commission, Brinkin was best known for championing equal rights for gays and lesbians. He helped craft San Francisco's groundbreaking Equal Benefits Ordinance, which became a national model for workplace equality.

Now Brinkin is charged with possession of child pornography. 

Police say that Brinkin had pornographic images, some that appear to show children as young as 1 and 2 or 3 years old being sodomized and performing oral sex on adult men, in e-mail attachments linked to his account, according to a search warrant served by San Francisco police.

Workplace equality?  Try explaining that to abused children.  

What a tragedy that Brinkin cared more about the wishes of adult men than he did for the safety and innocence of young children and babies.
