To the Editor:
Houston is not the first major city in the US with an
openly gay mayor. That honor goes Mayor Sam Adams of Portland, OR, who ran as openly gay, and was elected a year before Ms. Parker. She may, however be the first openly lesbian mayor of a major US city.

To the Editor:
One can never be "wrong" when expressing one's opinion. Others can agree or disagree, but your opinion is your own. That being said, I think you've missed the mark
when accusing The Marriage Ref of "stereotyping." My understanding is that the 'subjects,' who volunteer to appear, do so in the hopes of finding justification / substantiation for their point of view.

To the Editor:
Good article, but you
seem afraid to say anything critical about religion, which is America's most prolific stupid generator. Religions, even the moderate ones, almost all advocate unreason as a primary virtue. In fact they could not survive without unreason. Until reasonable people like yourself start calling religionists out for their odd beliefs, it will just get worse. But articles like yours make me generally optimistic.
