Before Elections, Gay Candidates Have Won

From OnTopMag.com:

Months before the general election, voters endorsed two openly gay candidates to elected office.

In Portland, Oregon, the mayoral election was decided in May, when openly gay Sam Adams won a mail-only primary over several opponents. There will be no general election for Adams because he secured the majority vote (59%).

Adams will become the Portland’s first openly gay mayor on January 1st, and the first to run one of the 30 largest cities in the United States.

A first-term city commissioner, Adams was endorsed by the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, a group committed to increasing the number of openly gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender elected officials at all levels of government.
