Gay woman wins Houston mayoral race
Houston made history with the first openly gay candidate winning the election. Annise Parker plan to transform all Houstonians for the better. Has this election changed the world for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community? Well, it depends on which category one falls under. The questions for the city of Houston should be. Does sexuality matter in politics? Can a gay person make rational decisions? The vote margin shows Parker with 53% of the votes.
Parker's sexuality has been the focus of this campaign, but voters have shown society that culture can change and the best person for the job shall reign, by putting past beliefs in the past. Although anti-gay activists and religious groups were against Parker because of her homosexual behavior, the public vote still was in her favor.
How will this effect Houston as a city or the nation as a whole? Only time will tell, however I feel somehow we have not heard the last of this.
