The runoff for Mayor of Houston, which takes place this Saturday, is between two Democrats, Annise Parker and Gene Locke. Parker is a lesbian and her Democratic opponent has sidled up to homophobes. Unfortunately, that has now defined this campaign. Two of Locke's top supporters actually funded the political action committee of one of the worst anti-gay leaders in Texas (who is using those funds to attack Parker's sexual orientation.) It's disgusting that a Democrat would sink to this level. More about the race at AMERICAblog Gay.
If you want to help, Parker's website is here. Her ActBlue page is here.
