The Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund reports that 107 openly gay candidates were elected to office in 2010, which they attribute to a change in public attitudes regarding the sexual orientation of their elected officials. For the most part, voters aren’t interested whether or not a candidate is gay; they’re just tired of politicians’ back-door deals.
Arizona state senator Kristen Sinema, a 35-year-old woman who is openly bisexual, says her constituents don’t care. Except the ones who openly think that it’s actually kind of hot.
Voters don’t mind gay politicians, because they are tired of elected officials lying about their sexuality, and would rather they go back to lying about everything else.
USA Today is reporting that it is increasingly “not a big deal.” So much so that they had to do a full feature story on it.
