The new mayor will fire the chief. My money’s on a “gay” chief being selected followed by “gay” officers being elevated to positions of authority within the dept.
IMO, new police appointees may not be openly gay but will at least voice support for gay movement and “recognize their rights”. Friends who live there said the mood generally was Black versus Caucasian and vote against Obama rather than Gay versus non-Gay. Lots of people have moved to Texas because they did not like the liberal policies in their former state but forgot to leave their garbage behind them. Perry certainly isn’t the most conservative candidate but watch out if KBH is elected Governor. There also has been a big push by the Democratic party to move Texas left. Sad times ahead for our great State of Texas.
