There’s so much ignorance and hate on the national stage these days, so enjoy this video of Houston Mayor Annise Parker talking about her first love. She’s the first openly gay mayor of a major city, and in watching it, I realized how rarely we get to see the sweet first crush stories of LGBT adults. The canon of rom-coms and coming of age novels that straight people can refer to doesn’t exist in quite the same capacity. This is the kind of stuff that reminds the people that need reminding that OMG GAY PEOPLE ARE JUST LIKE US. In fact, they are us, so get over yourself.
