Well here is a milestone.....a big congratulations to Casper, Wyoming -- hometown of Matthew Shepard -- will soon have an openly gay mayor.

City Councilman Guy Padgett was elected by the council, and will take office January 4. Much more info is contained in the links below. In an article, Padgett says he does not see himself as a trailblazer, but I think he deserves credit just the same.
Props to Wyoming! Casper is getting an openly gay mayor, and Laramie voters recently passed a big smoking ban. Looks like my beloved Seattle better get on with catching up! :-)
