The Gay Thread

[Alex]

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...
