If I didn't already know that Ken is as straight as they get, this morning would have sealed that ideal. I awoke to find him wearing tan pants with a red polo shirt under a slate blue sweatshirt with the collar flaps from the polo shirt pulled out over the sweatshirt.

And, no, I didn't let him leave the house like that.

Since there's some tendency to bash Texas and other parts of the south whenever gay issues are discussed, I thought it worthy of notice that yesterday Houston became the largest city in the United States to elect an openly gay mayor (and a woman too).

I was just talking about gay stuff and Texas last night with some theatre folk I know. A couple of my friends were sitting around saying how they hate everyone/everything in Texas. I told them that I have a hard time saying I hate a whole state, any group of people etc because that's the same ignorance people display when they say they hate all gays, all black people, all politicians etc. This story proves me right. I like being right, it's such a rare happening...

I'm STILL willing to go out on a limb and say that all Texan drivers are a$$holes.

Houston is an island.

Sure, but then so are Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso, and much of the rural southern tip of the state. All of which are areas when were won by Obama last year.

Sure things aren't all rosy and perfect. But on this message board very broad blanket statements have been made about the south and Texas so I thought it worthy of a highlight, just like when very broad blanket statements have been made about other groups to general consternation.

Steers and queers, Texas. Steers and queers.

/broad blanket statement

Alex, thank you for making us aware of Huston's progressive-minded election news. Please continue to do so in the future.

As much as I applaud the people of Huston for their decision to elect a qualified person who happens to be a lesbian to the position of mayor, I do not think that negates the reputation The South has earned for itself as a region not too keen on mos.
