Texan who says Obama was a gay prostitute holds commanding lead in Board of Education vote
A former teacher who believes President Obama used to work as a gay prostitute seems well on her way to joining the Texas State Board of Education.
Mary Lou Bruner, a Republican candidate for the State Board of Education, has some unusual beliefs that have in no way inhibited her run. The District 9 candidate in the GOP primary has earned 48 percent of the vote in a three-person race. Despite a commanding lead, she fell just short of the 50 percent threshold necessary to avoid a runoff in May. The winner will help set education standards for a large portion of East Texas.
Bruner’s most frequently reported-on belief – that Obama “hasn’t come out of the closet about his own homosexual/bisexual background” – appeared in a Facebook post she wrote on Oct. 26, 2015.
