Dallas hasn’t been conservative for quite a few years: most of the conservatives moved to the outlying communities.

BS - Dallas is not conservative. It’s a city that speaks Ebonics and has open boarder rallies. It’s everything outside of Austin and Dallas that’s conservative.

More like giving way to madness. The rodents swept Dallas County last November, and if that holds, the county will have officially jumped the shark. This fella looks like Paul Lynde's cousin.

I wonder what the gay sheriff looks like? Can he lead his officers? And in what direction? I wouldn’t like to be in the locker room with him, if I were a police officer.

Wasn’t the line from Full Metal Jacket by the DI R. Lee Ermey? “Only steers and queers come from Texas, son - and I don’t see any horns on your head”.

What do you expect? It’s Texas. Let's hope they slide off that into The Gulf of Mexico </californiabasher >

One of the guys on another political board who always help me fight off the liberals is openly gay. He’s very libertarian on social issues, and very conservative on issues of taxation, regulation, and environment.
Shrug
I’d rather have a gay business owner elected mayor than any sort of socialist.

Ed Oakley's candidacy is the latest indication that Dallas' reputation as a conservative stronghold is giving way to more diversity. What an blatantly biased statement. The AP makes it sound as if diversity is dependent on openness to homosexuality. Give me a break.

“Dallas hasnt been conservative for quite a few years: most of the conservatives moved to the outlying communities.”
Yep. Or Highland/University Park. Or Ft. Worth.
DISD is one of the biggest liberal cesspools in the country.

I wonder what the gay sheriff looks like? Like Clay Aiken with a cowboy hat.

11-candidate field that included another openly gay man and a transgendered woman
.................................
Dosn’t that show that gays are in the political arena in disproportionate numbers ? Are are a 1/4 of the voters in Dallas gay?

For a minute I thought it was going to be Troy Aikman.I think Aikman's wife (who is female) would take offense to that remark.

Houston is about the same.
At least the Democrat mayor we have now is far better than the Democrat moron before him.

what exactly is a "gender identity nondiscrimination policy"?
Does that mean in Dallas if I have a Y chromosome and certain *ahem* body parts but say I'm a woman, then to the city I'm a woman (and vice-versa)?
