Lesbian Elected Mayor of Houston, Texas
“This is a watershed moment in American politics,” says Chuck Wolfe, president and CEO of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund which endorsed Annise Parker, the recently elected mayor of Houston, Texas making that city the largest in the US to elect an openly gay mayor. “Annise was elected by fair-minded people from across the city because of her experience and competence, and we’re glad Houston soundly rejected the politics of division. This victory sends a clear signal that gays and lesbians are an integral part of American civic life, that we’re willing to lead, and that voters will respond to candidates who are open and honest about their lives.”
