Hey, we're just as excited about homo Charles Pugh's Detroit City Council candidacy as anyone else. Voters sure seem to like him! But this is Detroit politics. The land of Kwame Kilpatrick, who holds the honor of being the only Detroit mayor to be charged with a felony while in office. So while Pugh came out on top in the primary, and heads into the Nov. 3 general election against 18 candidates (for nine open seats), we're just waiting for the shoe to drop — whether it's Pugh's or someone else's. We wouldn't recognize Detroit without corruption or criminal allegations! But yes, yahoo for putting Motor City in the national spotlight for loving The Gays.

I love Charles Pugh. I remember him from WAVY
The Detroit News reported:
"Some Detroit churches have historically sermonized that homosexuality was a sin, but Pugh got the backing of both the AME Ministerial Alliance and the Council of Baptist Pastors."
Huh? How did THAT happen? Wake up NAACP – some religious people get it.
@Brian:
I'll second that last comment. ;o)
Nice smlie bro.
@Brian:
My hometown.
Detroit (a mostly black city) is not as anti-gay as people would think. Only 52-54% of Detroiters voted for marriage equality in 2004. And you know what?
I've received a gay bashing in every city that I've lived in BUT Detroit.
Most of it has to do with the politics there, though. My hometown is ready for a change from the thugs that have run the city into the ground for the last 40 or so years.
@Chitown Kev:
that only 52-54% of Detroiters voted for the anti-gay initiative Proposal 2 in 2004.
The initiative won statewide with 59% of the vote for banning same-sex marriage.
I don't know Kev, it is pretty anti-gay at work (State job) and the governor actually issued a policy a couple years ago that includes us, but it was so quietly done, almost nobody knew about it.
Hey, I'm thrilled that Pugh got elected with the most votes but to say Detroit is not anti-gay is a stretch from where I sit.
