There’s some queer politicking in Dallas, Texas.
Openly gay Justin Nichols has reached a deal to step down from his gig at Collin County’s teen court program. Nichols’ sexuality first became a matter of debate in March, when he was running for city council and an opponent questioned whether he was fit for his position.
Though neither Nichols of Collin County will comment on the logistics of the deal, it seems pretty clear that people had a problem with Nichols same-sex loving ways:
Mr. Nichols would not comment on the deal, citing a confidentiality clause in the agreement.
This morning, he said he was ready to sign the deal, which the Collin County Commissioners Court approved in a 3-1 vote following an executive session June 10.
…
The controversy began in March after the Dallas Voice, a weekly gay and lesbian newspaper, ran a story about Mr. Nichols’ city council candidacy that mentioned his sexual orientation.Commissioners subsequently planned to discuss Mr. Nichol’s job status during an April meeting, but later decided not to. At the time, the court offered no reason for its discussion of Mr. Nichols.
Let’s all say it together: sha-dy!
How about we take this to the next level?

BS.
I’m thinking they paid him off to go away. That sucks. He shouldn’t have accepted the deal. Of course, I don’t know the full story…

Listen guys, George W. Bush is getting ready to move back to our little city known as Dallas.
All of us gays are being asked not go out in public on days that George and Laura are in town.
We are all working on exit packages wherein the city will pay us to move away. They only want Christian heterosexual war criminals to live here.
Since I am the most outspoken and annoying homo in Dallas, I am expecting big bucks…yes big bucks…no whammy…..to move my bombastic ass out of here.
