Elisa Chan, a San Antonio city councilwoman who was exposed last week for saying homophobic garbage in a closed-door meeting back in May, responded to the backlash today by saying it's her right to say homophobic garbage.

San Antonio City Councilwoman Elisa Chan is entangled in a homophobia scandal after a former aide secretly recorded her and other staffers bashing gays as "disgusting" and saying gay marriage is a slippery slope toward legalized incest and bestiality.
