Gay, Straight? Pick up my trash.
By Wink
According to the political action group Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund there are at least 445 openly gay and lesbian people holding elective office in the United States. I have no idea if this is true.
I never trust the statistics provided by any political action committee.
With apologies to Samuel Clemens, the biggest liars are (from least to worst)…
- Liars
- Damned Liars
- Statistics
- Statistics provided by political action committees.
But I digress.
Clearly, Barney Frank is not the only openly gay elected official. Whether there are 45, or 445, or 4045, a change is in the air.
Yeah, we could guess that a few of the gay politicians are in and around the San Francisco area.
For Pete’s sake though, the mayor of Houston is Gay? Houston. The one in Texas.
Day by day it becomes more “is my trash being picked up?” than anything else.
If a gay politician is a lousy mayor or governor, vote them out of office! But if they are good, who cares who their boyfriend or girlfriend is?
It wasn’t very long ago that people questioned whether a “black quarterback” could succeed in the NFL. (C’mon, you MUST be old enough to remember this.)
Same deal. If the QB stinks, feel free to boo him. If the mayor/governor stinks, vote them out.
Is my trash being picked up?
