RP: ‘Mariposa’ is Spanish slang for gay. Houston is the third biggest gay centre in the States, yet up until a few years ago, Texas had a law against ‘homosexual conduct’. The state is full of contradictions. It has so many oil dirks but is also the biggest producer of alternative energy. There’s an ongoing tension between liberalism and conservatism.
