Manuel Rodriguez of HISD joins Dave Wilson

Manuel Rodriguez, HISD Trustee, has joined forces with Dave Wilson, a pretend candidate for Mayor, in distributing anti-gay campaign literature. Manuel, like Wilson, claims he is a family man although you have to wonder what kind of a man, family or not, would stoop to such lows. From the Houston Chronicle:

Rodriguez, who is seeking re-election to the District III seat, noted in the brochure that his challenger, Ramiro Fonseca, has “spent years advocating for gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender rights … not kids.”

Maybe if Rodriguez would have spent more time advocating for all the kids in HISD, he wouldn't have drawn a challenger. This is a real low for Rodriguez after spending . You have to wonder if he is advocating for kids, or just the kind of kids and families who share his bigoted views.

If Rodriguez doesn't retain his seat, he could help the other "Family values" dude, Dave Wilson, in his anti-gay crusade across the city. His opponent, Romero Fonsesco issued a statement:

“I am saddened that my opponent wants to conduct his campaign utilizing offensive language,” Fonseca said in a statement Saturday. “Over the next few days I will continue to engage the voters of District III on issues that are important to the parents, students, teachers, and taxpayers of HISD.”

Stay about the likes of Dave Wilson and Rodriguez. You are a better family man for it.
