"A born jurist" dies

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

Herbert Donaldson, the first openly gay man to serve on the San Francisco bench, died Friday afternoon in his home. He was 81.

Back in 1983, Judge Donaldson, at the time a well-known criminal defense and neighborhood legal rights attorney, was named to the Municipal Court bench in a midnight appointment by outgoing Gov. Jerry Brown. The headline was, "Gay Lawyer Picked for S.F. Bench" - that angle being news at the time.

Judge Donaldson died from the effects of pancreatic cancer, according to his longtime friend and companion Louise Swig.
