This story should read:US gets first black, OUT lesbian Mayor.or;US gets first black, OPENLY lesbian Mayor.I really wish writers would understand the distiction and the importance of the distinction between FIRST gay/lesbian and first OPENLY/OUT gay/lesbian.Writing the headline and story the way PinkNews did, it is most likely inaccurate.I live in a city in America with a lesbian mayor who is a personal friend of mine. She is not out publicly. Fifteen years from now we may have an out lesbian mayor and the headlines will read "City Gets First Lesbian Mayor" when in fact that will not be the case.
