How did Houston elect a gay mayor?

A milestone, sure.  And maybe diversity was part of the reason she won.  But moreover, I believe it was pure APATHY on the part of the voters that caused this.  Only 16% of registered voters turned out--less than one-quarter of the total number of voters in the city. 

Just like Obama, YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR.  And in turn...what you don't.

God help Houston.  I think they're going to need it.
