How did Salt Lake City—of all places—end up with a lesbo Mayor-elect?

[kaehurowing]

Salt Lake has a very high gay population, in part because in the Mormon view they don’t exist so the Mormons simply pretend they aren’t there.

[FourPeas]

But the city itself is perhaps only 50 percent LDS, and has a significant and vocal gay community. Biskupski's election, fueled in part by commercial interests opposed to restrictions on advertising billboards, would mark the first time an openly gay politician has won the position.

too many liberal californians moved to salt lake city. in fact in utah, a non-mormom is a liberal dem.

SLC proper only encompasses a small (in square miles) urban area. If it included the whole county, Dems would have a harder time winning. The GOP hasn’t won the Mayor’s office since Jake Garn (later U.S. Senator) in 1971.

Low voter turnout in an odd year election.

[redgolum]

Lots of gays in Salt Lake City.

[NetAddicted]

I read they keep electing Democrats, plus there’s a huge number of faggots in Salt Lake City. Why, I don’t know.

You beat me to my question.

How did Kansas, of all states, elect an open Marxist like Sebelius?

It's not who votes, but who COUNTS the votes.
