Jared Polis of Colorado will likely become the first openly gay man to be elected to the U.S. Congress as a non-incumbent, according to the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund. (Tammy Baldwin was the first out candidate to do this back in 1998.) This milestone is an important one for our community. It sends an unmistakable signal that voters are willing to consider gay people as leaders at the highest level of government, and brings us closer to the American ideal of a truly representative government.

This tremendous victory is the culmination of Jaredâ€'s deep commitment to the people of Colorado, and of the hard work and discipline of his entire campaign team. The Victory Fund congratulates Jared and honors his achievement on this important night in the fight for LGBT equality.

23 Comments:

Great news considering how red that state is; progress is slow but sure. I guess even Coloradoans (?) are sick of republican corruption. Congrats to Jared (plus he's easy on the eye). Wink!

Prejudice is insanity. Turning away a clearly qualified, intelligent candidate merely because he is gay, or black, or female...finally seems to be dying a slow death.

Congratulation to Mr. Polis and perhaps this could be an good omen for future gays and lesbians wanting to enter public service.
