Larry Brinkin, who worked at the
Human Rights Commission for the City of San Francisco for 22 years and
was a prominent homosexual rights activist for more than 40 years,
pleaded guilty to felony child pornography possession last week.
Brinkin is expected to serve six months in jail, five years of probation, and register as a sex offender for the rest of his life when he is sentenced on Mar. 5. But he likely will get to keep his city pension because possessing and viewing child porn apparently is not considered a crime of "moral turpitude" under San Francisco's retirement/pension rules.
According to police, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle and SF Weekly, Brinkin had photographic images of children between the ages of 1 and 3 who were being sodomized and forced to perform oral sex on adult men.
Also, in e-mails attributed to Brinkin using the account "Zack3737@aol.com," he praised interracial adult-child sex saying, in one message, "I loved especially the [N-word] 2 year old getting nailed. Hope you'll continue so I can see what the little blond bitch is going to get. White Power! White Supremacy! White D--- Rules!"
Brinkin, who is "married" to partner Wood Massi and has a son with two mothers, retired from the city's Human Rights Commission in 2010, when he was 64 years old. At the time and with the support of city official Bevan Dufty, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, in honor of Brinkin's work over the years to combat discrimination, passed a resolution declaring the first seven days of February 2010 "Larry Brinkin Week."
While on the Human Rights Commission, Brinkin had worked as a compliance officer, responsible for helping to ensure non-discrimination against employees. He had been instrumental, back in 1982, in implementing San Francisco's Equal Benefits Ordinance, which required employers to provide equal coverage for "domestic partners." Further, Brinkin has been a long-time advocate for gay "marriage."
The archived pages of SF Pride say of Brinkin, "Larry Brinkin has been an activist in San Francisco for over 35 years, co-founding Bay Area Gay Liberation, the Lesbian/Gay Labor Alliance, and the Gay & Lesbian Alternative Dispute Resolution Service. He was a pioneer in the struggle for domestic partner benefits and currently is the manager of the LGBT&HIV Division of the SF Human Rights Commission. He played a major role in recent years in the struggle for transgender rights."
Brinkin was first arrested in the child pornography investigation in June 2012. According to the news reports, in early 2012 America Online (AOL) had contacted authorities after discovering e-mails and child pornographic images in one of the company's subscriber accounts.
The Los Angeles Police Department, then put in charge of the case, traced the IP address of the e-mail account Zack3737@aol.com to Larry Brinkin. Police then confirmed that Brinkin had paid for the e-mail service with his credit card.
