This was last city in the USA to convict two men for having sex in their home. As the Virginia Slims commercial said, "You've come a long way, baby."

background: The petitioners, John Geddes Lawrence, a medical technologist, then age 55, and Tyron Garner (1967–2006),[9] then 31, were alleged to have been engaging in consensual anal sex in Lawrence's apartment in the outskirts of Houston between 10:30 and 11 p.m. on September 17, 1998 when Harris County sheriff's deputy Joseph Quinn entered the unlocked apartment, with his weapon drawn, arresting the two.

They elected a lesbian mayor. Bravo for them. However, I feel that at this time there is no city in Texas that would elect a gay male mayor.

Oh, I see. Austin, the capital of Minnesota, as opposed to the capital of California being Toledo. Sure.

Actually, Houston is fairly progressive for Texas. Esp, the Montrose. But it isn't San Fran.
