Making History

Say hello to Denise Simmons the U.S.'s first elected openly black lesbian mayor!
Denise holds court in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Her predecessor, Ken Reeves, was also gay and black.
Cambridge is the home of both Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.































































YAY!!
First… and this is amazing!
Damn! The PHilton.com effect…..
First! Well done Cambridge!
Congratulations. Wonderful to see in the USA.
FIRST
don't you mean, openly gay elected black lesbian mayor?
no such thing as openly elected
You go girl. And kudos to Cambridge for saying NO to sexism, racism and homophobia.
Cool!
Excuse me ~ what about Shirley Franklin in the dirty dirty ATL
Not surprising, Cambridge is very liberal and MA does have gay marriage!
that IS pretty big news because almost every single person i know from Mass is a douche bag, slut bucket, racist, women hating sack of rude shit.
And the women there are ALL whores!
Susie! Paola Polacious?
You fucking gold digging WHORES! ha ha ha
Jeff Sullivan you fat racist piece of shit!

A black lesbian?!?! I've heard it all!

i think it is wonderful that voters are stepping outside the box and electing people other then stuff old white men, cause obviously that isnt going so well.
Ewww. woman, black and gay… 3 strikes girl, you're out.

Couldn't you get a better picture? This one is so damn blurry I can't tell the difference between her eye brows, her eye lids and her actual eyes!
how cool bout time
Wow, great news! I live in Cambridge and I just learned this. I'm so thrilled Denise is our new mayor; she's a totally awesome individual who always gets my #1 vote for City Council every year because of her sincerity and strong progressive activism. She's the real deal and really cares what happens to people in this town.
Seriously?
oh cambridge…. let me tell you i live here and while it's lovely and all that there have been two gay black mayors, it's not such a great place. that said, COAST MOBB REPRESENT
first?!!
Hello, Kathy Whitmire was Houston's openly GAY mayor in the early 80's….
Gee… Cambridge is home to a lot of highly educated, intelligent people. You mean smart, educated people are open minded and don't judge people based on stupid superficial traits like race or sexual orientation? You don't say!
Go Cambridge - lead the way! It's times like this that I am very proud to be from New England.

Sweeeeeeeeeet!
Sweeeeeeeeeet!
WOO

Congrats to her!
I am very proud to say I am from Cambridge home of the Gay-Black Mayor!
Quite the accomplishment, although I will be more impressed on the day no one cares what colour she is, or who she loves.

That is so sad that you had to point out that Cambridge is the home of Harvard. Do your readers not know that??? Well, maybe international folks wouldn't.
well, duh!
go girl!
Yay! This is the positive news we needed today!

Gay, black, who gives a shit? The reason being gay and black is an issue is because you make it one. Douche!
CONGRATS!
never thought i would say this but… FIRST!!!
She's really ugly. But it says she is rather hot and open-minded at (bimingle.com). She wanna try to experience more. Oh, god.
Re: Question – It's when a reader sees a new post with no comments and they rush to be the first person to comment…….It's kinda fun. You should try it

YOU GO GIRL….I MEAN YOUR HONOR ! You make the GAY community extremely PROUD !
Good news for all of us.

Openly elected, was she? Sad that this is what passes as journalism these days. P.s. don't see Cloverfield.
Re: justjak – HEY DOLL-BOOTS!!!
Wow Massachusetts kicks ass. and gee, it just happens to happen where Harvard and the Mass. institute of technology are, where there will actually be an intelligent voting base. how completely unsurprising.
She was openly elected? How courageous.
"Hello my name is Bingo and I write for Perezhilton.com. I also like to climb on things. Can I have a banana. Eeek Eeek!"
Cambridge must be a very intellectual town. Now let's see about making our entire country be as smart. First, we must get rid of……..
