You don’t know that. I’m sure over the years more than one played both sides of the field. I don’t know why you felt the need to throw that in, you’re just setting yourself up. I’m straight, but it’s 2019. Most people don’t care anymore about one’s sexual orientation, or at the very least enough to try and point things out. Maybe Boston really isn’t as progressive and liberal as they try to make themself out to be.

Pittsburgh has generally had white men, but there was a white woman back in the late 1980s-early 1990s.

Cambridge, however, has had both a gay black man and a lesbian black woman as mayor.

They got sort-of close to electing a local black city councilor named Tito Jackson in 2017. He got 33.97% of the vote. The other guy got 65.37% I'd like to think it's mostly due to him being the incumbent. I think Tito should run again in 2021. His votes should only be higher next time around and he's a likeable guy. Current mayor is far from perfect.
