We love that the Dallas Voice includes former NYC mayor Ed Koch (above) in its “tapestry of LGBT elected officials” in a story on lesbian Dallas mayoral hopeful Annise Parker.
“New York’s mayor Ed Koch (1978-1989) is sometimes cited as gay, but he has never come out.
“Although L.A. has never had an openly gay mayor, West Hollywood does have one.”
The Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund lists 32 open LGBT mayors around the world, the Voice reports.
“Currently, the largest U.S. cities with gay mayors are Portland, Ore., and Providence, R.I.
“Large European cities with gay or lesbian mayors are Berlin, Paris and Zurich.”
