 | | Brazilian sexologist Marta Suplicy, a vocal advocate for gay and lesbian civil rights, won the mayoralty of Sao Paulo by a near-landslide in a run-off election October 28. |
 | | Suplicy will serve a four-year term, and many believe that with any success in improving the city, she'll go on to lead her party, although she recently denied having any Presidential ambitions. |
 | | Suplicy called her victory, and that of 12 of 15 other PT candidates in mayoral elections, "a victory for all of the political forces and unions, for democrats and progressive thinkers against representatives of conservatism and of the prejudiced, authoritarian and dishonest right." |
