Burns and Angle hosted a reception for Parker in their home on Tuesday, June 23 to help raise funds for her campaign. Parker would be the first open lesbian elected mayor of a top 10 U.S. city if she wins in November. Houston is the fourth-largest city in the country. TAMMYE NASH/Dallas Voice.

I had to miss the event because of work but I highly encourage everyone to give to the Annise Parker campaign if they can.
She is a smart politician and can win this race. It’s time we had an openly LGBT mayor of a major metropolitan city in Texas. Dallas missed its chance, let’s support Houston.
