Gay Leather Bar Owner Runs for Governor in Texas
20th July 2017
After Abortion Barbie, there was nowhere else to go….
Jeffrey Payne, who won the title of International Mr Leather in 2009, hopes to challenge the state’s current Republican governor, Greg Abbott, who announced his bid for reelection last week.
Sounds like the perfect Democrat candidate.
“Texas needs a Governor who believes in Real Texas Values, like integrity, honesty, freedom and independence,” Mr Payne said.
In other words, not a Democrat.
“We need to stop wasting our time and money on trivial legislation and start investing in finding ways to help Texans, their families, and their businesses prosper.”
At taxpayer expense, no doubt.
In an interview with CBS Dallas, Mr Payne said he does not think Texas voters will focus on his same-sex marriage – or, presumably, on his connections to the BDSM-tinged gay leather community.
