Strange that a bunch of crazy homophobic, monster truck lovin' types could actually put aside their differences and vote a gay mayor in.

11. It's so frustrating...
that's all! You'd thind it would be a little more progressive here, but I can't see a change in the 8 years I've been here. Send me back to the Northeastern US, anytime!

3. He's openly gay
We don't have party affiliation for municipal council in Canada - I'm in the interior of BC. ANd have NO idea why he was elected and accepted except that he is a good mayor

4. I live in North Carolina and the next town over has a gay mayor.
And he is out, too.

NC elected their first gay State Senator yesterday too. She is out as well.
