Greg Abbott attack ad suggests Lupe Valdez is too gay for Texas
Republican Governor Greg Abbott is subtly gay-baiting his possible Democratic challenger in November, out lesbian former Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez.
In an attack ad released Thursday, titled “Too Liberal for Texas,” Abbott’s campaign made sure to highlight Valdez’s sexual orientation.
Valdez faces Houston businessman Andrew White in a runoff for the Democratic nomination for governor on May 22.
Abbott, of course, is rabidly anti-LGBTQ. As both attorney general and governor, he bitterly fought marriage equality in Texas, and during the most recent legislative session, he supported anti-transgender bathroom legislation.

A member of the LGBTQ community becoming Gov. of Texas. Sheriff Valdez has a long hard road. But just trying shows how courageous she is.
