The AP stuff about Ms. Parker's victory does not really touch on her issues, or those of her opponent. Earlier articles mention "anti-gay" and religious opposition, as well as people urging to vote against her due to her "homosexual activities."

I personally don't care about her sexual activities, but what are her issues, especially in the sexual orientation arena? For example, does she favor forcing traditional churches, synagogues, and mosques to marry homosexual couples?

Let me get this straight, liberals want us to be blind when it comes to a persons color and or orientation, yet they’re the 1st to interject a persons color or orientation, seems to me the only ones who are color and orientation blind are conservatives, we don’t give a hoot about either, we care about your ideology and that’s it!

No, it shows our culture decline.

Homesuality is a perversion of sex.

Sex is to be between a man and a woman - hopefully married.

It is a sad day to see another San Franciso in the making.

It’s also disgusting to see two men, one acting like a woman and the other a “man” thinking they are a “couple”. The same is true of two women, one pretending to be the “man” and the other taking on the role of a female in such a perverted way. It’s SICK.

Tempe, Arizona had a gay mayor in 1994. For ten years I don’t think anyone knew, LOL.

Well, maybe if we can get all these “firsts” out of the way, we can go back to hiring and electing people based on their merit and qualifications. I personally would hate to be the first of a race, sex, orientation, etc. to “accomplish” something that was based entirely on the decision of the public at large because I would never really know if they selected because I was the best qualified or because I would be the first...know what I mean?

This is only the 7th time that Parker has been elected to city wide office, so the people of Houston have already accepted her sexuality.

And her opponent was more liberal than Parker.

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.

It certainly has changed my view. Now, Houston ranks right up there with San Francisco as a place I don't want to visit.

How long before there's a rainbow flag flying from City Hall?

HOUSTON – The first openly gay person elected mayor of Houston

Is this the same kind of cultural diversity that killed all those people at Fort Hood?

Gay mayor-elect: Victory shows Houston's diversity

Actually, it shows Houston's depravity.
But then, it's just another typical concentrated Democrat parasite nest ("city").
(yawn)
