Gay Politics — Record number of LGBT candidates elected to office
We may lose some (see Iowa), but we win more.
And, when I say we, let me clarify...I'm not gay, but this fight is about basic human rights and dignities, and it involves all of us. When gays & lesbians attain equality in this nation, we will all win.

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 (pictured), who will become the fourth openly gay Member of Congress when the House convenes in January.
