Here is a tragic sweet love tale: the mayor of a lil’ Texas town abdicated his position to run off to Mexico with his illegal immigrant boyfriend, the Wallis Simpson of San Angelo. People are sad because this mayor was a very good mayor, and got elected to four terms!
He pushed to rebuild aging water and sewer lines and attended hundreds of community events. He won nearly 90% of the vote in a three-candidate race …
All that, even though he only got paid $600 a year!
But then he met this special guy in March, and “just hours” before he was due to be sworn in on Tuesday he dumped the town of San Angelo via text message. Dude was already in Mexico, livin’ it up with his true love.
(Best lines in this article: “Some said they hadn’t known he was gay. Others were surprised he got involved with an illegal immigrant.” Because it is standard procedure in Texas to check somebody’s papers before fucking them.)

“Wait! Do you have a green carglehmmmphhhfffff…”
LittlePig: Hahahahahahahahhahahh *cough* *cough*… choke …..
There’s just no beating back the urge for a Little Juan burrito.
San Angelo is the arsehole of Texas, exceeded in crappiness only by Midland. He gave them enough of his life, now it’s time to be open and have fun.
The mayor of San Angelo secedes from Texas.
mmmmmmm…….wet-backing…..
I actually think it’s a very sweet love story, so there. Of course, my cynical nature also says before the year’s out he’ll be back in Texas, still on his knees, but this time begging the people for his job back.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume the guy was a Republican. Now, if only the rest of them would follow that brave man’s example.
Wow — gay, ethical, smart, committed, hardworking — thank God they chased his ass out of the country.
SayItWithWookies: ….you forgot “cocksure.”
I’m sure Marty Robbins will be spinning in his grave over this one.
Out in the West Texas town of San Angelo
I fell in love with a Mexican boy.
Night-time would find me in Rosa’s cantina;
Music would play and Jose would whirl.
Blacker than night were the eyes of Jose,
Wicked and evil while casting a spell.
My love was deep for this Mexican gay man;
I was in love but he was illegal, I could tell.
True love has no Dept. of Homeland Security.
$600.00 a year, fuck they paid him like he was an illegal.
Has it ever occured to you haters that he was simply compelled to do research on the most authentic Guacamole preparations?
Custerwolf: Waitaminnit…what’s in your mouth?
ManchuCandidate: You have a talent, my friend.
Mr Blifil: I was actually just choking on my own tongue. Everything’s under control now.
OMG I grew up in that town — this is AWESOME!
Also, my childhood nostalgia notwithstanding, I kinda’ have to agree with Terry. “Plastic arsehole” might be more apt.
Mr Blifil: Custerwolf was just hitting on the old avatar.
El maricon esta muy triste.

Hmmmmmmm:
1. TRUE LOVE
OR
2. Being Mayor of some podunk town in TEXAS
Gee, hard decision.
Custerwolf: Damn girl, you’re snarky AND flexible!
Mexico, oh Mexico
that’s the very best place to go
when you want fellatio
sorry, not up to Manchu’s standard
Como te gusta mi pinga
En tus pantalones?
Como te gusta mi pinga
y mis cojones.
It’s the same old thing
in the same old hole,
but when you say it in Espanol,
it sounds divine.
Even Texas Mayors aren’t impervious to Latin Heat.
I hope this leads to a long procession of out and proud gay Texas cowpokes. I’m looking at you, Rick Perry.
Wait, wat? A Texan who is teh ghey AND the lover of an illegal alien? String ‘im up, boys!
S.Luggo: As soon as I clicked on that link, my gaydar lit up like a Christmas tree. I guess it was the Hugo Boss frames. But no one in Texas is gay, so…
S.Luggo: That J.W. is pretty hot!
Why would a gay man who supports cross cultural dating and infrastructure investment ever want to leave rural Texas?
S.Luggo: Alicia? Please tell me that is his sister!
Gay-married Messican illegal immigrant–was this story invented Rush? I know he’s fapping to it.
America’s ghey, small-town mayors. So competent, so underappreciated.
Just a Small Town Mayor
About Public Works, he does care
He took El Tren de La Medianoche goin anywhere
Just a Mexican Boy
Up here, we cannot employ
He took JW in for to be his bear.
Aso, Annie Proulx will be using this as the plot of her next short story, “Wetback Mountain.”
NoWireHangers: Looks good in fireman costume too!
ManchuCandidate: I can almost hear Hank Garland playing those sweet guitar licks …
I’ll say it again - you’re not gay until you have sex with a Mexican illegal alien. After that, it’s pretty much a done deal.
NoWireHangers: OMG! Ted Allen is a Mayor of a little Texas shithole?
Today, we are all small town gay mayors who run off with our illegal Mexican boyfriends whom we all met just three months ago.
This is why we need to build that fence, people.
Scarab: NO SHIT! Gotta keep the talent *IN* the country…
apparently they got a great deal on a condo vacated by Gov. McGreevly and his israeli “bodyguard”
“In this neck of the woods,” said Councilman Johnny Silvas, “people are accepting.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, real accepting of anyone who is white, has a stupid twangy accent & makes their living in the oil business or throwing a ball around. Maybe that’s why the good mayor never came out!
From pillar to polesmoker.
you’re an illegal
yet our love soars like the wings of an eagle
your immigrant status and my post of mayor challenges my morality
though some may think its an issue of my sexuality
you and i fit together like a hand in a glove
my esteemed post of mayor I am undeserving of
our relationship leaves me conflicted
can’t be true to my post - to a mexican i am addicted
heading south of the border - where you and i can live unrestricted
my constituents still hold me in high regard which i’d have never predicted
When I lived in Lubbock, the president of the Rotary Club was an, uh, unmarried man. He hosted a community Christmas party in his newly-purchased house. On the tour, he was proudest of his bedroom, the pink princess bedroom of the previous owner’s teenage daughter.
There are old cowboy photos of “heifer dances” where half the ranch hands would wear white aprons and be teh ladies.
This is taking the idea of “going out for a little Mexican” seriously.
Okay, but why live in Mexico? Being gay is a felony there. Why not go to Vermont and get married? Voila! Instant American is legal here, or at least one heckuva court case.
The Mexican Pool Boy wins every time.
Why not run to a state with the gayz marriage, then the boy can get a green card right?
Ehh, I’d rather high-tail it to Mexico as well.
I’ve assumed the guy is a Republican, without checking (but come on, this is Texas). One thing I do have to hand the GOP is that paying a politician $600 is cool. About what they are worth*.
*I’ve also assumed there are no kickbacks involved
Let the illeeeeeegal soar!
Like he’s never sooooared befoooore!
From rocky coast to golden shoooower,
That illegal’s mighty sooooore!
He’s just a small town boy
Wanting some Hispanic cock
He took the midnight train
To Coahuila
Two months? That Mexican must have a cock of gold.
NoWireHangers: Waitaminute, now! San Angelo was, at one time in it’s history, “The Mohair Capital of the USA.” Nothin podunk about that, if’n your into textiles.
And, and…Hizzoner has DUAL CITIZENSHIP! One of which is Meskin. And you know what that means. Those people stick to their own kind. Yessiree, Bob. Or maybe, it’s just if you try brown, you’ll want to skip town.
*Disclaimer : I am from San Angelo, but I now reside elsewhere.
“In this neck of the woods,” said Councilman Johnny Silvas, “people are accepting.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, real accepting of anyone who is white, has a stupid twangy accent & makes their living in the oil business or throwing a ball around. Maybe that’s why the good mayor never came out!
Texan Bulldoggette: Mr. Silvas is a long serving local politician in San Angelo who is not white, and doesn’t have a twangy accent. San Angelo, btw, has no oil anywhere within 200 miles.
The good mayor was openly gay. He wasn’t however a flamboyant bottom, I suppose. Everyone liked him and had no qualms with him being a homosexual.
San Angelo has taken a bad rap for being anti gay here. That’s just not the case.
As for the $600 salary: That is common practice everywhere. EG. Congress. They make nominal salaries by design so as to discourage people from running for the money.
Texan Bulldoggette, you are truly ignorant and should head to the nearest PetCo to be fitted for a muzzle.
Cheers!
Just another Texan who likes a burrito….move along, move along…
Accordion-o-rama: OK. Best post in the thread!
slappypaddy: I always figured there’d be a lot of that, like W. Va. seceding from Old Va.
Bruno: Wrong. Little problem with a thing called DOMA. Your state may recognize your gay marriage, but for immigration purposes you might as well cite your membership in the same book club. AFAIK.
I really like that they can’t decide which thing scandalizes them more. That’s rural Texas in a nutshell.
magic titty: Then I am proud to report that I am a lesbian.

Well, now we see the evidence. Followed by the rise of a Das Dritte Reich-equivalent, maybe? . My Mom and Sister were guests of Das Dritte Reich in a charming Austrian locale called Matthausen. Well, they got out. Not so for many other guests. Don’t want to bum anyone’s buzz. Jus’ sayin’.
Wait, I’m confused. Did he have to give up office because his lover was a man? or because he was a Mexican?
Zorg: WTF? What the hell are you saying — Because the Mayor of Podunk ran off with his boyfriend, now we’re all going to wind up in concentration camps?
Either I misunderstand you or you are crazier than a shithouse rat.
magic titty: Check! (probably… I didn’t ask and he didn’t tell…)
from what i hear your country is full of guns yet pat “buttfuck” buchanan still roams the earth???
thejesusandmarycheney: …at least $600 worth of gold - but we all know that a smart well-educated bilingual American with dual citizenship and massive people/organizational skills can’t possibly make more than $600 bucks a year in a country with a low cost of living, right?
Anita Cocktail: He did not have to give up office because his lover was a man, or because he was Mexican. He chose to leave the country and live with his lover in Mexico, because the lover could no longer live in the country legally. According to the article, the people of the town of San Angelo didn’t care about the gay issue. “His constituents want him back. Councilwoman Charlotte Farmer said she had been besieged by voters asking her to urge the mayor to resume his duties if he can resolve his partner’s immigration status. ‘They love our mayor,’ Ms. Farmer said. ‘Quite frankly, so do I.’”
