We've all seen the "Strong" ad, we've heard Rick Perry calling to reinstate Don't Ask Don't Tell, we've heard him preaching homophobia for political gain at every opportunity. If you've lived in Texas for a long time, as I have, you've watched Rick Perry pivot towards using GLBT Americans as a wedge issue.

And it may have made you wonder about Perry himself, especially if you've heard the rumors that have circled for years -- that Rick Perry's a closeted homosexual who enjoys same-sex encounters.

I'm Glen Maxey. I'm a former six-term Legislator from Texas. I was also the first full-time lobbyist for the Lesbian/Gay Rights League, now Equality Texas, where I organized for gay rights in Texas. And now, I'm the author of a book, Head Figure Head: The Search for the Hidden Life of Rick Perry, which asks two questions: is it possible to prove that Rick Perry has homosexual encounters? And if I can prove it, can those rumors ever be published in a reputable publication?

Join me below to learn more about my weeks of research, hundreds of hours of interviews, and thousands of email exchanges. I suppose I'm either a great amateur investigative reporter or simply a persevering gay gossip queen. You decide which.

Today was the runoff election for Mayor of Houston, Controller, and several at-large and district Council positions. Polls close at 7:00 pm.
The high profile race for Mayor between Anglo, openly lesbian, Annise Parker, the current Controller, and African-American attorney, Gene Locke has taken the most oxygen. Both are Democrats and both began the campaign with somewhat positive perceptions.
Over the recent weeks, the ugly undercurrent of third party attack direct mail from homophobes and right-wingers has dominated the race. But throughout the runoff period, public opinion polls have given Parker leads in the race.

Results as they are released will be posted beneath the fold!
