Counterpoint: as a gay Californian (and a SF homeowner to boot), I strongly identify as a YIMBY.

Aside from selfishly wanting room for more local colleagues at my startup, it's my mission in life to preserve California as a refuge for persecuted LGBT people across the country. The best way to do that is to build more housing and stabilize rents, not to block sorely-needed high-density housing because there used be a historic gay bar there 50 years ago that few will remember.
