It’s been about a year since Annise Parker finished her time as Houston’s mayor.
After her fellowship at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, she joined the faculty at Rice University. Even before her time in elective office, Mayor Parker was heavily engaged in LGBT activism here in Houston, and she’s returning to those roots, in a way. She recently gave a speech at Texas A&M as part of the school’s week of activities to promote tolerance and acceptance of the LGBT community.
We welcome back former Mayor Parker, to hear her thoughts on LGBT issues in Greater Houston and to discuss her future plans.
