Houston’s openly lesbian Mayor Annise Parker, newly re-elected to a second term, says President Obama needs to evolve “faster” on marriage equality, and that the Democratic platform should promote same-sex marriage. She also slammed a “hard-core group” in Houston — the largest city in the U.S. with an openly gay mayor — that is “just mortally offended that there is a lesbian mayor.” (English)
When Annise Parker won her first Houston mayoral race back in 2009, the Houston Chronicle described her as “the first contender in a generation to defeat the hand-picked candidate of Houston’s business establishment” before noting that she would be “the first openly gay person to lead a major U.S. city.” (English)
