Mayor London Breed intends to nominate an out man for the vacant seat on the San Francisco Historic Preservation Commission.
Jason Wright, who is LGBT according to the mayor's office, would be the only out person on the seven-member advisory panel should he be approved by the Board of Supervisors.
Commissioner Jonathan Pearlman, a gay man, is presently serving on the commission but his term has expired and Breed did not renominate him or Andrew Hyland, the other out member.
Wright has been nominated to Seat 3, which is designated for an architectural historian. Wright has a background in both design and conservation, according to a biography from the mayor's office, and has 18 years of work in preservation architecture.
