Newly appointed Police Commissioner David Campos attended his first commission meeting this week, a significant event on many counts as an openly gay Latino man.

"Like many people in the city, I relate to two communities. It's a very important perspective to have. Within the Latino community I think it will be important to have the voice of someone who is openly gay, and within the LGBT community it's important to have the voice of someone who is also a person of color," Campos told the Bay Area Reporter, adding that people with a variety of cultural ties "understand better that there is a lot of commonality there; not withstanding some the cultural influences, we're all in this together."
