Everyone a Queer Elected Winner

Every Election we see more and more LGBTQ people step forward to be candidates for a whole variety of political posts. Some like Mayor Pete may not make it to the Finish Line, but he especially has proved how much impact can be made just entering the race,

Below are just some of the LGBTQ that were successful in this current election. What is especially remarkable is the fact that many were in traditional conservative/homophobic States. That takes a great deal of (metaphoric) balls just to make the run. It takes a great deal of personal sacrifice, passion and persistence to win. We salute them all, and particularly thank them for making us feel so proud.
