Lesbian beats black man to become mayor of the South's Largest City

She's not a monster, but not exactly attractive :

Dude she is a middle aged politician...

I mean really does anybody really care who old ladies have sex with?  Her being a lesbian is simply not very interesting information at this point.

The fact that she is a lesbian is not intrinsically more interesting than the fact that Barak Obama is black, Sonia Sotomayor is Latina, and Nancy Pelosi is a shrill harpie of a woman with ghastly plastic surgery who has a blind eye to ethical abuses and does not mean what she says.

If intrinsically means "Ignoring a history of discrimination based on sexual orientation in America," then yes. Even today her opponent tried to tar her by warning that her election would be another step in the legitimization of the homosexual lifestyle.

I mean, what's your point? Yes, in an ideal world her sexual orientation would be a footnote at best to her candidacy, but that is nto the world we live in.
