Wisconsin Democrat Rep. Tammy Baldwin has been named the projected winner in her race against Republican Tommy Thompson. Baldwin's victory makes her the first openly gay candidate elected to the U.S. Senate.
"Tammy Baldwin's victory showed what a majority of Americans already know: that candidates should be judged on their qualifications for the job and not their sexual orientation," said Herndon Graddick, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).

Awesome. Good news on another front after last night's elections.
Good, our plan of gay domination is working! MWAHAHAHAHA
That's nice.
I wish the first openly gay senator was a good one, though.

I'm sorry but I just can get excited by stuff like this it's like "first senator to use missionary position gets elected", or "first senator to like role play gets elected", I'm really not caring what politicians get up to in their bedrooms.
not so sureWell, when you get the Republicans to support a gay candidate, let us know. If they're openly gay, it'll be awfully hard to sneak them past the religious nuts.

and before you insist he is not out in the open, his secret is as well kept as the fact that israel has nuclear weapons, but he similarly refuses to admit it
Graham has never been married and, when questioned by Robert Draper of the New York Times, said, "I know it's really going to upset a lot of gay men—I'm sure hundreds of them are going to be jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge—but I ain't available; I ain't gay. Sorry."[54]

sadly it appears her being gay is the main positive qualification for some on this board
what she does in her bedroom should have no relevance to opposing or supporting her
I imagine everyone knows this, but nonetheless, some (not all) who agree with an individual will use something like this to justify a greater call for support and harsher criticism of opposition. This is, of course, absurd.

Well, personally I support her because I agree with most of her positions, but her sexual orientation is a plus. Her being gay is important because she is more likely to support gay rights than a straight candidate.

Good news. Another step forward for LGBT rights.
