I can tell you those cities are just as progressive if not more so than Austin. Austin is a funky little college town that has lived off of years of self-promotion and boosterism. But now with ease of travel and interenet access, people can communicate more easily what a city is really like.

Back to the Oklahoma City discussion. Now in my opinion I don't see the city as big league yet. I haven't been to OKC in about 6 years but the last time I was there it was nothing to write home about, nevertheless it is a nice city. I can't imagine that things have changed THAT drastically in the last few years but it is worth it to go check it out again sometime soon.

Did you see the Movie Milk..Harvey Milk could've been the Mayor
of San Francisco in the earily 1980's if he wasn't assassinated in
S.F....City HALL...

So Oklahoma City, you have it here. Elect someone who advertises their sexual preference as other than heterosexual and that makes you big league! Didn't know it was that easy....

That really only proves that, in the public's opinion, the candidate in Houston was the most qualified but the candidate in Dallas wasn't. Just because people in a particular city elected a gay candidate doesn't necessarily mean that city is more progressive.

Yes I've seen that movie and thought it was great and I totally agree SF could have elected him as mayor, but I'm not seeing how this fits into what we were discussing. I'm just adressing your post discounting Dallas, Atlanta, Miami and San Antonio as not being cities that would currently elect a mayor based on their sexuality. I say you're wrong.

We started chasing this particilar Rabbit , because Most Major League
Cities can elect African American and Gays to the office of MAYOR.!
Not all of them (Like Charlotte NC) (Nov. 3, 2009) take Charlotte off
the list of cities without an African American Mayor (but)Salt Lake City
San Antonio Texas( Kansas City MO oop"my Bad)" (St. Louis. oop's My
BAD both Missouri Cities Had African American MAYORS)Oklahoma City OK
Tulsa OK and last but not Least San Diego California.!

Charlotte elected its first Black mayor in the early 80's. The one we elected last year, Anthony Foxx, is our second.
