A transgender man who's been with the San Francisco Police Department
for more than two decades was recently promoted to lieutenant.

The promotion from sergeant makes Stephan Thorne, 54, the highest-ranking out transgender law enforcement official in the country, according to San Francisco Police Commission President Theresa Sparks, who is also transgender. Thorne is one of the top-ranked LGBT officers in the SFPD.
