    Openly gay? I am not a chicagoan so didn't vote in this election but have watched a lot of news coverage. I think I remember some reference to her being gay but with all the b.s. mudslinging never gave it much thought. Now that she's mayor suddenly she's openly gay? Wtf does that mean?

    Good luck. Too much violence and if other mayors couldn't fix it.. I doubt she can.
