20. Wherever you crawled out from makes Houston look real good by comparison.

You and the horse you rode in on.

11. She carried my precinct big time.

Yes, she won.

A gay woman as mayor of Houston.


Yes.

14. I'm Proud of my City

Way to go voters of Houston!

The best part, in my opinion, is that her victory had nothing to do with her sexual orientation. She won because of the platform and issues she ran on. People didn't care whether she was heterosexual or a lesbian, but rather saw that she would be a great mayor.
