HOUSTON MAYOR ANNISE PARKER REVEALS THE GAY AGENDA
Mayor
Annise Parker was elected mayor of Houston via runoff in December 2009. Parker's
election win bestowed her city the title of largest US city with an openly gay
mayor. Parker won her next two elections without a runoff in 2011 and 2013.
Mayor Parker is in her final term as Houston mayor. One of her items is pushing
for a non-discrimination ordinance in Houston, similar to what San Antonio
enacted in September 2013.
Parker
got her start in Houston politics with her
involvement in LGBT issues in the 1970s and 1980s. Her first attempts at
elected office were unsuccessful runs for city council in 1991 and 1995. 1997
was a breakthrough year when she won an At-Large seat becoming the first openly
LGBT person elected to any office in Houston. In 2003, Parker was elected city
controller and served three consecutive two-year terms.
On
16 January 2014, Parker married
her wife Kathy Hubbard in Palm Springs, CA. They have been together since 1990.
The couple lives in Houston with their two adopted daughters and foster son.
Mayor
Parker is no stranger to giving keynote addresses. She was a keynoter at the
2012 Texas Democratic Party convention in Houston and introduced former
Congressman Barney Frank at the 2013 Texas Stonewall Democrats biennial conference.
In
this keynote address to California Democrats, Mayor Parker reveals what the gay
agenda is.

YEAH MR. COLBERT! YEAH, SCIENCE!!
On
Monday night, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson entered the Colbert Nation to
take on Stephen Colbert. It was clearly a battle of wits.
Tyson
was on The Colbert Report to promote Cosmos: A
Spacetime Odyssey which airs on the Fox Network on Sunday night for a
13 episode run.
I
watched the first episode on Sunday and thought it was well done. I am looking
forward to watching the rest of the series.
The
interview between Tyson and Colbert shows some of the issues that the series
will address and why science and exploration are important things that must be
encouraged rather than discouraged.

TEXAS STYLE MARRIAGE EQUALITY
“After
careful consideration, and applying the law as it must, this Court holds that
Texas’ prohibition on same-sex marriage conflicts with the United States
Constitution’s guarantees of equal protection and due process. Texas’ current
marriage laws deny homosexual couples the right to marry, and in doing so,
demean their dignity for no legitimate reason. Accordingly, the Court finds
these laws are unconstitutional and hereby grants a preliminary injunction
enjoining Defendants from enforcing Texas’ ban on same-sex marriage.”
