A half-hour ago, my cousin was still in line to vote in Arkansas (after 2.5 hours in line)!
the first openly LGBT member of the U.S. Senate.
...after Barney Frank, right? What am I missing?
edit: duh, Senate, not Congress.
He wasn't a senator.
Frank's in the House.
was Frank House?
Yep, my mistake.
Okay, how can they call Wisconsin for Obama when Romney has more votes and there are only 19% of the votes even in?
Because of math.
Was he out when first elected? Maybe that's what they're trying to get at? First out lesbian anyway, if it's been called.
Yeah, also Barney Frank wasn't out when elected.
