Superiority Texas Style: Lesbian Tops Straight Man (Gene Locke)

In the recent race for mayor of Houston, Texas it boiled down to a male lawyer and a lesbian.

Gene Locke is the male lawyer who tried every dirty trick he could to trash Annise Parker. Gene Locke focused on the fact that Annise Parker is an open and proud lesbian. His campaign spent many thousands of dollars trying to drive home this fact, in hopes that would be enough.

Hey Gene, evidently Houston citizens aren't as bigotted as you!

In my dreams I hope that people were able to see being Lesbian has nothing to do with one's ability to perform a job. But sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if it has more to do with the fact Gene Locke is a lawyer.

But no matter what the reason, Gene Locke (a straight man - we presume) was topped by Annise Parker (a lesbian).

I hope she used a really big strap on.

Gay rights advocates push Collin County commissioners to ban discrimination

McKinney, Texas -- Gay rights advocates urged Collin County commissioners on Tuesday to adopt a hiring policy that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Commissioners are considering a proposed policy that would ban discrimination based on “sex, race, creed, disability or national origin.” It does not specifically mention sexual orientation.

“To exclude sexual orientation and gender identity/expression from your policy sends a clear message to the people affected by it,” said Morris Garcia, president of the Collin County Gay and Lesbian Alliance.

He said the suggested policy would allow “bigoted opinions in the workplace that can only equate to a hostile environment, poor productivity, and unfair/unequal treatment.”

Commissioners took no action on the proposed equal employment opportunity policy. They said they would talk to other county elected officials and study it further. None of the four commissioners’ court members present discussed adding sexual orientation to the proposed policy.

Chelsea Clinton walks into a gay bar...

Two gay bars actually. Clinton campaigned for her mother at JR's and Sue Ellen's in Dallas last night. Gloria Steinem and Rob Reiner were also there to tout the former first lady to the local gay community. The crowd of mostly men at JR's went nuts when Chelsea Clinton got up on the stage.

The enthusiastic response prompted the best line of the night, from Chelsea Clinton: "I did actually have someone propose to me earlier this week although he was a Ron Paul supporter. I told him if he really loved me, he would support my mother."

Chelsea Clinton will speak to students at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth this morning. The event is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. at the Brown-Lupton Student Center at 2855 Main Drive. Chances are, she will say very similar things to what she said at other events.
