From the front page of today's Houston Chronicle
Now that initial surprise is wearing off that the fourth-largest city in the U.S. will soon have a top official who is gay, more in-depth stories about mayor-elect Annise Parker and those close around her are appearing in the media. Today’s Sunday Houston Chronicle included articles by Joe Holley on Parker as well as her partner Kathy Hubbard. While the article on Kathy appeared both in the print and online editions (read it here), the article “Not So Shy Now” about the mayor-to-be appeared only in the print version as a feature starting on page one and continuing to page eight, which it covered completely. The Chronicle’s sister paper, The Dallas Morning News, carried a shorter and redacted version of the story online.
By reading news media and blogs from all over the world, it is evident that Annise Parker’s recent election here in Houston is of interest to those far afield from the Bayou City. As of yet, no archives of the longer version seem to be available. I have saved mine to pdf files (because I think it’s a story worth saving).
