Last night Annise Parker was elected Mayor of Houston! She makes history by becoming the first openly gay mayor of one of the 10 largest cities in the United States. Houston ranks #4 in terms of population. I was at the victory celebration last night and it was very moving.
The crowd was as diverse as the city of Houston. Kuddos to all of us who worked to get her elected. Kuddos to Roy Morales and Peter Brown who supported Annise. They ran against her and didn't make it to the run-off yesterday. Their support was definitely appreciated.

Congratulations Houston!
Congrats to ya'll in the Bayou City for making this landmark decision.
Maybe the message of fair govt and diversity will drift towards the East and cross the Sabine River.
