Houston's Not A Gay City? Yeah, Right

Happened to see The Advocate article that declared the 15 gayest cities in America. based on categories such as population, gay elected officials,  gay weddings within a 50 mile radius, gay friendly congregations, gay.com registrations and Tegan and Sara performances in the last five years?

What's a Tegan and Sara?

Houston didn't make this list?    A city with the largest gayborhood outside of San Francisco, a nighttime pride parade, a highly organized trans community with 4 IFGE Trinity Award winners, a powerful GLBT political caucus which is a 'must get' endorsement for any liberal progressive politician in Houston and currently has a lesbian mayor isn't on this list?

You're kidding, right?   Then again, Los Angeles, New York, Austin, Dallas and Chicago weren't on it either.
