Several readers have asked SFist about the validity of the following moniker controversy. Here's our answer:

While this March 7th KTVU news story isn't terribly interesting, the name of one on-camera interviewee is. See, folks in the avenues are it in a tizzy over new wireless reception devices sitting atop power poles in the Richmond. Which, whatever. A little memory loss or speech impediment is worth better AT&T coverage, right?

One of the outraged residents, however, is a lady named Gay Outlaw.

" 'If they would like to put an antenna on this street, we should all receive notification so that we have a chance to make our voices heard in the formal appeals process,' said area resident GAY OUTLAW."

Is this for real? Sure is. In addition to opposing crystal-clear wireless connectivity, Gay Outlaw is also a noted San Francisco-based artist. Now you know.
