Houston elected its first Gay Mayor. I am shocked, yet very excited. I do have the same worry for her as I do for President Obama, though. If Parker is not HUGELY successful, she will be viewed as a HUGE failure. It will all be dumped on the fact that she is a lesbian. And it will take another hundred years for people to stop caring about sleeping arrangements long enough to vote another LGBT candidate in that office, even if they do happen to be the best person for the job. I applaud Houston, however. Bravo.
