Houston, Texas is full of open-minded, equality-striving liberals. Pick your jaws up off the floor, stereotypers! The city just elected its first openly gay mayor, Annise Parker. Way to go Texas! The news is especially reassuring since it happened in a state where gay marriage is still illegal. Parker is also only the second woman to become mayor of Houston. Parker told CNN, "Houston is a multiracial, multicultural, international city. And I think my election will send a message to the world that Houston is a city that might surprise a lot of folks." Well consider me surprised AND delighted, Governor Parker. So very brassy of you Texas.
Kisses,
Heidi
