Gay Sherrif! Gay County Commissioner! Next, Gay Mayor? Where??

Somewhere in Europe, right?  (nope) Or, maybe Madison, Wisconsin — after all they think Karl Marx is raging right-wing lunatic so it must be them, right? (wrong again).

How about Dallas? (Yes, the one in Texas).

Time magazine has a great story in this month’s issue that talks about the new "lavendar" blush on that yellow rose (hat tip: Chi Chi Hoffner).  Full story here.

(As an added bonus, see if you can find the uncredited quote from our friend Gary Gates.)

    Bravo to Dallas. Atlanta and New York City have lesbians in charge of their city councils. The Mayors of Providence, RI, and Palm Springs, CA, and quite a few smaller cities are gay. It’s about time, but we’re still behind Europe:

    Paris, Berlin, and Hamburg all have gay mayors. They are all very successful and popular mayors, too… doing a great job.
