Great Q & A with Parker, but where's Gene? He's refused to come forth with tax returns, he refuses to clarify his conflicts of interest, and now is a "no-show". We need a Mayor we can trust, not a lawyer who dances around issues and apparently cannot handle direct, tough questioning (or feels he shouldn't have to). Clearer each day that Parker is the stronger candidate BY FAR, and the Houston Chronicle thinks so too! (Sun. Nov 22nd issue)

Paul-You've described the situation here in Houston 100% correctly. The bigots/religious right are spewing all sorts of hate. We knew it was coming but that doesn't make it any easier. I hope all supporters of Equality Texas will consider going to www.anniseparker.com and help us make Annise Parker the next Mayor of Houston.

This story is sickening. I hope there is a civil suit with national press coverage and that schools everywhere are required to add a course in human diversity acceptance to their curriculum.

1) For homosexuality to be raised as an issue in the mayor's race is about as Houston as bad air, clogged freeways and plastic surgery.
