Victory Fund Candidates Win in Lousiana

Louisiana’s GLBT community is making progress and moving up in the gay world.  Two openly gay school board candidates in Louisiana mark the election of the state’s first two openly gay elected officials. Thomas Robichaux and Seth Bloom both endorsed by the  Victory Fund, won their elections to the Orleans Parish School Board. The wins effectively remove Louisiana from the Victory Fund’s “Horizon State” list which lists states without political LGBT representation. States still on that list includes; Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota and South Carolina.

As reported earlier on GayAgenda.com, the Victory Fund has endorsed over 100 GLBT candidates nationwide for 2008.
