The Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund today announced that more openly LGBT candidates won election to public office in the U.S. in 2010 than in any year in America’s history.
At least 106 of the group’s record-breaking 164 endorsed candidates were winners as of Wednesday morning, including Providence, R.I., Mayor David Cicilline, who will become the fourth openly gay Member of Congress when the House convenes in January.
According to CNN, 31% of self-identified gay voters supported Republican candidates for the U.S. House. “Exit polling makes it clear gay voters played an important role in bringing conservative leadership to Congress,” said Jimmy LaSalvia, Executive Director of GOProud, the only national organization representing gay conservatives and their allies. “It also proves something we have been saying for months now – that the Tea Party’s message of limiting government is something that appeals to many gay Americans.”
They are probably gay turncoats. Just because you are gay doesn't mean you care about the gay community. When you work in The Whitehouse or in "office" the gays are the least of your priorities. That's obvious.
I guess this news will make the anti-gay crowd angry. Oh well.
