From Yahoo.com:
HOUSTON – The first openly gay person to be elected mayor of Houston says she hopes her victory in Saturday's election will change how the world views the city.
Houston is the nation's fourth-largest city and the biggest to elect an openly gay mayor.
Mayor-elect Annise Parker spoke Sunday at a press conference after defeating former city attorney Gene Locke with 53.6 percent of the vote in the hotly contested runoff election. Parker has been serving as city controller. She takes office as mayor Jan. 1.
Parker calls her election a historic day for Houston's gay and lesbian community. She says she hopes it shows the world that Houston is a diverse international community that welcomes everyone.
The city of 2.2 million has about 60,000 residents who identify themselves as gay or lesbian.
I heard the turnout for this mayoral race was pathetic. Anyway, no CBT, we don't "hang" openly gay people in Texas.
This post is really gay.
ReplyDeleteShe looks less like a lesbian than Merlin looks like a fag.
ReplyDeleteSo Spurs, what's wrong with Houston? I thought the Great State of Texas was staunchly Conservetive?
ReplyDeleteShe looks like Hillary Clinton.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what's "wrong" with Houston. I think only like 250,000 people turned out for the election.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hear that she is the most "fiscally conservative" out of the two choices. Well, I didn't "hear" that. I read it.
ReplyDeleteThe article I read put turnout at 172,000.
ReplyDeleteA Democrat, female, lesbian, Mayor of Houston. Sounds more like Austin.
ReplyDeleteAnd she does look like my girl Hillary.
ReplyDelete152,000 turned out according to MSN.
ReplyDeleteIt does sound more like Austin. And a 152,000 turnout is pretty sad for a city of 2 million.
ReplyDeleteHey, Spurs!
ReplyDeleteI just thought I would be nice and leave you a comment so that you would have a fresh one on here and your wait wouldn't be so long.
It's that Holiday Spirit I have.
GO San Diego!
Hey, thanks bitchhog. I appreciate the sarcasm. And as far as San Diego? Yeah, once again, the Cowboys showed just how pathetic they are.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't think sarcasm is really a part of the "Holiday Spirit."
ReplyDeleteSorry.
There really wasn't any sarcasm. I sincerely did not want you to wait all night for someone to comment.
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting back to me so quickly.
Well, nevermind then. I appreciate you leaving a comment out of what appears to be charity. I'm over here ringing bells with a little cup to put coins in too if you want to stop by.
ReplyDeleteAnd no problem getting back to you so quickly. I was just so happy someone left a comment.
BH isee you my love i love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteawesome peak lapel jacket she has. Probably a 42R. With an astounding pattern like that,it is by Oleg Cassini.
ReplyDeleteI used to work at a tux shop when I was in HS. I have mad sizing skills.
so not only is houston full of fatties, they are full of gays, too? good job, houston.

ReplyDeleteuh, thanks, anon
ReplyDeleteHey, what's up kb? You do have "mad sizing skills" indeed. I like her lapel jacket. I'm thinking of getting one myself.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to check out the second part right now. Also, do you mean I should read it or cry when I read it?
ReplyDeleteBH:

That was a great ending kinkyb!tch, but I'm just wondering how they paid for all of her needs. I read where the insurance benefits were running out, but damn, that had to cost a ton of money.
ReplyDeleteReally was an inspirational story.
Go Philly!
ReplyDeleteI was waiting for you to come in and write that EV. I know Wopness is probably suicidal right now.
ReplyDeleteThat was a hell of a game.
ReplyDeleteYeah it was.
ReplyDeleteWas that necessary?
