San Francisco – The Snitch – Unhappy Hookers: Supervisor Carmen Chu Meets Anti-Harlotry Crusader Melissa Farley Today

Petite, understated, and measured Supervisor Carmen Chu isn’t the first person one might choose to face off against crowds of angry hookers.

But after months of chaperoning controversial legislation that tightens the City’s reigns on massage parlor brothels, Chu has gained a reputation as San Francisco’s top neutralizer of harlots. Today, in fact, she was scheduled to meet with anti-porn and -prostitution crusader Melissa Farley, the organized sex-worker community’s arguable Public Enemy No. 1.

“The legislation the supervisor ushered through went through so many hearings, at the Department on the Status of Women, the Land Use Committee, Planning. At each and every one of those hearings, the supervisor had to deal with the wrath of the sex workers,” said Chu’s aide Cammy Blackstone. “The supervisor held her ground.”
