Always setting the example our Jerry, and Houston now show the world how important it is to get involved. Here's partials of the story from the news source Yahoo, which doubles as a Houston shout. ============================================================= HOUSTON - City Controller Annise Parker made history Saturday by being elected Houston's first openly gay mayor, seizing 53.6 percent of the vote in the hotly contested race. "This election has changed the world for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community. Just as it is about transforming the lives of all Houstonians for the better, and that's what my administration will be about," Parker told supporters after former city attorney Gene Locke conceded defeat. Houston is predominantly Democratic and about 25 percent black and one-third Hispanic. ==================================================================== Jerry, just a suggestion, but next I'd work on some math classes for the local census personnel. ....louie
