Berkeley City Council will convene Tuesday at its regular meeting to consider a number of proposals, including funding for a mental health peer education program, a community screening of a "Hate Man" documentary and a recommendation for the city to officially co-sponsor the San Francisco LGBT Pride parade.

Mark Hawthorne, or “Hate Man,” a locally famous Berkeley figure who lived in People’s Park and formerly wrote for the New York Times, died Sunday. He was 80 years old.
