His high heels are between three and four inches tall. They’re patriotic heels with an Americana theme. They are your basic, bedazzled-flag high heels made to fit a male veteran’s foot.
Google Mayor Bruno “Ralphy” Lozano of Del Rio, Texas and a good chunk of the headlines you’ll find mention that Mayor Lozano wore heels in his city’s last Veteran’s Day parade. The headlines also tell you that Lozano is the youngest mayor elected in his town’s history, he’s a flight attendant, gay and a veteran.
Lozano was one of 52 LGBTQ candidates who ran for office this year in Texas. “I just advocated this is who I am,” says Lozano. “I didn’t use the LGBT flag in my campaign. I don’t have that kind of community. We don’t have a gayborhood. A part of me is gay. A part of me is a human being who cares for the community.”
Del Rio is a relatively small border town in south Texas that’s been around in some form since the 17th century. It’s also home to Laughlin Air Force Base and could be why Lozano chose the Air Force when he decided to serve his country.
“The military has helped me a lot,” says Lozano. “I understand structure. I understand the chain of command. I understand job duties.” As he talks about the military, each period can be heard in his voice giving the words a deliberate and important tone. He continues, “Job function. Being part of a team. Insuring the group has good moral. Knowing you can get through the difficult times together, the awesome times together. The military taught me about structure and got me out of my comfort zone. The military teaches you to contribute to society.”

The article said that people in Del Rio are so grossly uninformed that they don’t know how they vote for.
Air Force? Why am I not surprised?
Judge Roy Bean is buried in Del Rio: the transformation of the little city of liberals has been astounding.
His DOB is 10-11-73.
Out-of-wedlock births are pre-arranged in many cases to qualify for financial support from uninformed American taxpayers.
He was born the day after Spiro Agnew resigned as Vice President...but that probably had nothing to do with his turning gay.
