Oregon town elects nation’s first Transvestite Mayor

Just another victory for equal rights/recognition from this election.

In Silverton, residents have elected a man who’s believed to be the first ever openly transvestite mayor in the history of the United States. And he won in a 13-point landslide… He says he has no interest in becoming transgendered and undergoing sexual reassignment surgery. He just enjoys dressing up like a woman, and is relieved that townsfolk in Silverton have accepted him.
