PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - This glamorous desert getaway achieved a measure of fame a little more than a year ago when voters elected the nation's first city council consisting entirely of members of the LGBTQ community.
A bisexual woman and a transgender woman were selected to join three gay men on the council that election night. The gay and lesbian community - a majority of the electorate in this city of 45,000 people - cheered the milestone as an affirmation of the community's model tolerance. RuPaul, the nation's unofficial drag-queen laureate, chimed in with a celebratory tweet to more than a million followers.
---------------------------------- Whine all you want; but we are having wine tonight.
The population growth is expected to be harvested from
social conversions of the surrounding region's "deplorables".
Savings will be made on eliminating maternity wards and
services provided by that obsolete sector.
