My town has had three gay mayors in a row now, and the two former mayors are still on the city council. You’d expect no different in Cambridge, Massachusetts! (The mayor here is just an elevated city councilor, but still.)
The previous mayor was even black, female, and married, but I’m not sure about religious affiliation.
At least it isn’t André Rieux.
Berlin, Germany has had an openly Gay mayor for many years (don’t know if he still is mayor, but he was elected several years ago).
The fact that he was Gay was huge news for about 20 minutes.
Never seemed to be a problem with the press, even when he and his partner would meet with visiting dignitaries, and it didn’t seem to be a big problem for the visiting dignitaries either.
Once. In 1960.
Sorry, couldn’t resist. 
But, really, I partly trotted out the well-worn meme to half make a joke and half make a social comment. In 1960, I can understand a 20 minute fuss about a gay politician. In 2010 … 
Meh. We’ve had a Gay Republican Mayor for a long time now.
I’m pretty darn far left on the spectrum, and even I love Mayor Gin.
Hey! All these popular gay married male mayors are starting to get me worried about the position of us women here. Women traditionally held the position of dignitaries’ wife. What if gay men are -gasp- *better *at that then we are? Them gays took fashion from us, they took showbizz gossip from us, and now they will also take from us this last bastion of feminine power? :mad:
Only a woman can put lipstick on properly. Your position is safe.
Being a Muslim doesn’t mean you’re a teetotaler. Being a teetotaling Muslim doesn’t mean you can’t go to bars. It may lead to being picked as the designated driver, though.
Nava, quasi-teetotaler and designated driver (but not Muslim).
Is my friend Bob really Catholic? Apparently he uses contraception!
