San Francisco- Conservative pundits clucked their tongues after San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and two other elected officials issued official proclamations commemorating the 40th anniversary of a studio that produces pornography for gay men.

“San Francisco has proven yet again why they remain the mocked city of the country,” said Rev. Louis P. Sheldon, chairman of the Anaheim-based Traditional Values Coalition. “No other major city in the nation has gone so far as to blatantly glorify a homosexual porn producer and company.”

Newsom, who has publicly opposed a local Internet porn company’s plans to move into a former National Guard armory, declared last Friday “Colt Studio Day” to honor the studio that celebrated the milestone anniversary with a gala at the city’s War Memorial Building.

The event came the night before the GAYVN Awards, the gay porn industry’s answer to the Oscars.

California Assemblyman Mark Leno and San Francisco Treasurer Jose Cisneros also issued proclamations honoring Colt Studio.

Talk show host Bill O’Reilly skewered the city and its leaders on “The O’Reilly Factor” Tuesday night after a political ally of Newsom’s appeared on the program to say the mayor can’t be responsible for every proclamation that goes out under his name.

“There is not another city in the country that has ever had a ‘gay porn day,'” O’Reilly said. “And you wonder why your city is looked upon as a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah?”
