A successful Dallas businessman pledging to spend in the seven figures out of his own bank account to run for governor in 2018 should be a great get for Texas Democrats. Yet the party doesn't seem to be getting behind Jeffrey Payne, whose business happens to be a gay bar.
Payne, owner of gay leather bar The Dallas Eagle and winner of both the international and Texas Mr. Leather competitions in 2009, officially launched his campaign this week saying, "There's no reason to think that someone who is gay can't do a job, and here it's being governor and representing people."
Democrats currently don't have a serious candidate challenging the state's Republican governor Greg Abbott next year - something the Associated Press described as a "new low" - but they are resistant to get behind Payne even though he is currently the best option.

The campaign video in the original article will go especially well in Texas ...
Warning: The video is for adults only ... who have a strong stomach.
lol
He should do a few joint appearances with Nancy Pelosil... and go for the all time biggest defeat in state history !
ROFL
Would that make him Payne in the ass to the dims?
Democrats are homophobes!!!!
LOL! It just gets better and better!
He’s Gay Republican, right? Get behind him! (LOL)
“But(t)... But(t)...”
I meant, He’s Democrat, of course.
The DIMs/LIBs are a laugh a minute. Hahaha. I hope they get “behind” him.
He still would outpoll Wendy Davis! Millions of TX Democrats are seeking people like he.
He’s welcome to waste all the money he wants.
Gov. Abbott is doing a fine job.
..........I hope this guy/gal/whatever does become the Democratic nominee as it will further display to America how devoid of quality personnel/candidates the Democratic Party really is.
Abbott is strong, strong in Texas and within the Republican Party in Texas and he will mop the floor with this perv.
Only two things come from Texas. Steers and queers.
And it doesn’t look like he has horns
Btw... that comment is from Full Metal Jacket, before anybody’s panties get twisted.
Wow...perhaps it’s time to start voting Democrat and help this man get the nomination. Kind of a ‘male version’ of Wendy Davis.
I see that his platform includes putting men in girls’ locker rooms and placing foster kids in two-daddy households. He’s a genuine Democrat.
LOL…he is the IDEAL candidate to challenge The Man in the Chair, our fantastic governor, Greg Abbott. It would be a blow-out of historic proportions!
But why? This person is a prototype Democrat from central casting. So what if it’s Texas? Democrats gotta be scumbags.
That would be a difficult decision for Democrats. Wonder if they could support a transgender.
Reminds me of what is going on in Wisconsin. After Walker announced he was running for reelection - a parade of midgets has come out to announce they are running as Democrats. No serious candidates (if they have any) have announced. Just obscure, absurd, gonna get steamrollered also-rans. The Foxconn announcement sort put it away for Walker, only fools would enter the race against him.
There is no perversion the Democrats don’t support—they just have to make the tactical decision whether they want to do so publicly.
