Yes, Houston will have a run-off election between Anise Parker and Gene Locke. Both Democrats (we have OPEN “at-large” city elections therefore no political party slates). Parker is a lesbian and Locke is African-American. She had solid support from Houston’s several hundred thousand gay voters, but only 13% of all voters turned out this time. In third place and now out of it was Peter Brown, a blue-dog conservative gazillionaire “Democrat”. Coming in last was Roy Morales, a right-wing Hispanic, so their supporters will either not vote in the run-off or will vote for the one they hate the least…a gay woman or a black man!

With 30% of the Houston ballots counted, Democrat and very “out” lesbian Anise Parker is in the lead. If she wins she will be the first lesbian mayor of any major US city. And then those who stereotype Texans call us a bunch of Bible-thumping rednecks even though Democrats run all of our major cities. Our mayoral race has 3 Democrats and one conservative Republican Hispanic running who is in last place. But since the great majority of Hispanics are Democrats, they see through the GOP ploy of running a Latino. A few percentage points behind Parker is former councilman Gene Locke, an African-American, and white multi-millionaire Peter Brown, a blue dog Democrat who is currently in third even though he was the biggest spender even chipping in a few million of his own. Houston has open city elections which usually means a run-off in December.

I’m telling ya…..the vote in California had to be rigged! I think someone at the State level turned the percentages around to make it fail!

Grant, there was a great turnout to the polls today in Maine! I think our same sex marriage law is going to remain in effect. My guess is the race will be 58-42%. LOTS OF YOUNG PEOPLE VOTING TODAY…..no different than on the day Maine helped to elect Obama to office. We’ve all got our fingers crossed!

My partner and I don’t believe in marriage which is a sacrament of the church that we have both rejected. But with “marriage” comes civil rights that we would like to have. Call it civil unions if you will. For the price of a cheap marriage license hetero couples can enjoy myriad benefits whereas if we want the same protections under the law, we have to spend a few thousand dollars for a lawyer to protect our properties and ensure our last wishes will be honored. When my partner was in a coma after an auto accident for a month, his brother had to put my name on a list at the ICU or else I would never have been able to visit him!
