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.”

There’s good sport kind of way to make fun of other services and then there’sa not funny way of insulting the whole servicewhich has no bearing on the truth like you just did. And there’s no call for it
You dont need to pile on
The guy has no military story. He was not in the military. He had no rank, no job, no veteran status, no discharge record. Nothing, according to this story.
It is a fake headline
He worked around the military or so he says
Looks like it’s going to be daily forced pride parades in that town until he’s removed. Julia Roberts would be jealous of his horse mouth.
One article stated he is a Democrat and defeated the incumbent Hispanic Republican Mayor, Robert Garza.
Unless I misread the article, it doesn’t cite his party. That’s probably a sign.
Okay, he’s a democrat.
He was elected by a bunch of stupid illegal and legal Mexicans BECAUSE HE IS A DEMOCRAT, no other reason.
All other considerations are eclipsed by this fact.
My understanding of Latin America is that Catholicism is really very skin deep. Most who call themselves Catholic rarely even show up for mass.
I’m not even sure what Catholic’s believe any more, The pope has gone wild.
Thank you for pointing out that Del Rio is an utter sh\thole totally lacking in redeeming qualities, so I don’t have to.
Whenever I bag on my in laws for living in the armpit that is Garland, TX, all they have to do is whisper “Del Rio” and I shut right up.
In my younger days, I almost drove into Mexico once from Del Rio on accident. We had guns and were smoking doobs, but that sobered us right up.
Gee, what was his opponent like?
Just having fun. When I served it was each service bashing the other services. All in fun! I lost an uncle over Marshall Islands during WWII. A flyboy! The Air Force provides an invaluable service to us ground pounders.
