Santa Fe Mayor Javier Gonzales will travel this week to Qatar, and the trip is drawing criticism that the mayor is breaking his own directives.

Qatar is known for its anti-LGBT laws, and Gonzales' trip was announced just days after the mayor reaffirmed Santa Fe's ban on city employee travel to states that have passed what advocates say are discrimination laws against the LGBT community.

If you know anything about New Mexico, the “D” after any political figure in Santa Fe is unnecessary.

The Mayor is “reconsidering” the trip after criticism, but this illustrates a point. The Left is more against Christians than it is for gays.

Progressivism and hypocrisy go together like Islamism and rape.

O poo, he’s just into it for the virtue-signaling. He wants to posture and parade around as a superior human being who is deeply concerned about the terrible injustices that transgenders daily face when they can’t shove into a ladies’ room and show off their junk. Look at me! Look at how good and compassionate I am! Look!

Arg.

Someone follow this a-hole to Quatar and tell the security at the airport than he made a slur about mohammed...

Maybe they will keep him a while....

He will learn “tolarance” from the “Religion of peace” about religious freedom...

What important interest of the City of Santa Fe requires the mayor’s visiting Qatar on the city’s dime?

To be a successful liberal, you have to be a walking/talking contradiction

You need to read the article.

The openly-gay mayor was selected to go to Qatar by the US Conference of Mayors, the Santa Fe New Mexican reports. Qatar will pay for the trip.

So the muzzies are paying for the trip and he can get around the ban because it is not city business, but it is US Conference of Mayors business. Lieberalism means never having to follow your rules.

Please. No FReeper need to read the article.

That said, one must wonder for what purpose the Emirate of Qatar is interested in buying the compliance of the mayors of Hither and Yon, USA.

I suppose this nitwit prefers to have the sexually deviant thrown off rooftops.

I think he should go.. BE the example! Show his Liberal Courage!!! Stand tall for San Francisco Values amongst the Qatari-ites... or Qataries... or Qataraneans.... or WTF they call themselves....

He needs to go and “Speak truth to Power”... “make a difference”.... you know, “give something BACK!”
