Will a lesbian mayor mean bump in gay/lesbian tourism for Houston?

by

Pack your bags, honey, we’re heading for a wild weekend in…. Houston!

Seriously, the Greater Houston Convention & Visitors Bureau is hoping to capitalize on the election of Annise Parker this month by reaching out to LGBT travelers, according to the Houston Chronicle.

“Houston historically has not been a popular destination for gay and lesbian travelers,” the Chronicle says, in the understatement of the millennium.

We spent time there with our ex’s family over several years.  Let’s be polite and say there was a nice mall and some very big WalMarts.

“Though Houston is not about to replace cities such as New York or San Francisco as gay and lesbian vacation destinations… it has an opportunity to become a stronger second-tier destination.

“In this region, New Orleans and Dallas have been bigger draws, Paisley said, although Austin and Houston have made some recent gains,” the Chronicle says.
