Houston mayor Annise Parker was elected two years ago and was re-elected two nights ago. She’s also a lesbian, making her the first openly gay mayor of a major U.S. city. When we asked her to share a story with us — any story, not necessarily about politics — she was inquisitive. Her Chief of Staff checked and then double-checked with us if Mayor Parker could really share any story from her life. We said, “That’s correct.” After finally meeting the mayor, she asked one more time: “Any story, right? It doesn’t have to be about the election?” After affirming, she began her story, and I realized why she triple checked:
Mayor Parker could share any story she wanted, and she chose to share an honest, courageous story about first love as a teenager.
