I wonder... can he be removed from his position for this sort of deception?

This is pretty rich. So no one bothered to check this guy out enough to even notice his skin color? I guess skin color is a major factor in most peoples minds when voting in that Texas country. A man, a white guy, elected to office under false pretense? lOl ! Damn, that's rich in this day and age, I though only muslim Kenyans plants could get away with that feat.

Why? Voters shouldn’t vote on someone for the color of their skin. He tricked the voters into seeing their ‘true colors’. I say when it comes to ruthfulness, he gets an A+. He didn’t lie about his positions, did he?

  I don't know for sure, but he did mislead people about who supported him, which could technically be interpreted as lying about his positions.

    I’m sorry. I thought it was funny. Now if he does a miserable job in office come back and tell me I told you so.

A scandal plagued candidate and a liar. Hard to believe those were the choices. My guess is recall election is the only way to remove him early.

So it's safe to assume that Maphesdus either him/herself suffers from homosexuality, or cares for someone who does.

"Anti-gay" is just PC speak for anyone who recognizes homosexuality as an affliction.

To be accurate, "Anti-gay agenda" might be more accurate, since his specific objection was to pretending that homosexual relationships are marriage.

Again, here the real story is his false claims of endorsement, not his objection to public acceptance of homosexuality. That was thrown in, in my opinion, for sensationalist purposes.
