Congrats to Kyrsten Sinema, newly elected representative to the U.S. Congress from Arizona; she is also the first bisexual person to be elected to Congress.
Sinema's election comes as part of a major victory for LGBTQ, etc. rights. The November 2012 election saw three states legalize same-sex marriage, one state put a stop to a marriage amendment, the election of the first LGBTQ, etc. person (lesbian Tammy Baldwin) to the Senate, five openly gay people elected to the House of Representatives, and the first openly transgendered person elected to the New Hampshire state assembly.
Cheers!
