Because she is and because she receives financial support from the GLBT community nationwide. She therefore supports gay issues and gays support her. I'm not saying this is wrong, just a fact. Families, conservatives, producers very strongly tend to live outside the loop (outside the city limits of Houston) so those that live within the city tend to be more gay, more minority, more liberal, and BTW more taxed. It's just the way it is. I expect one day that the Hispanic communities in Houston will get their act together and take city council and the mayor's office. Unfortunately they will still be Democrats for whatever reason they are now. The city will continue to spend money it doesn't have until it is bankrupt unless something drastic changes soon which does not appear to be likely. This situation is not much different than other cities in the US where the productive class moves out of a city to the burbs. All cities are Detroit eventually, just a matter of time.
