Count It! Oklahoma Elects First Openly Gay State Senator!!


Now that's what we're talking about!
Oklahoma has just elected its first openly gay State Senator!
His name? Al McAffrey!
Here's what they're saying:
“Al’s election to the State Senate is another milestone for LGBT Oklahomans, and we are proud to support his campaign. There are still a number of states that have never elected any openly LGBT state legislators, so Oklahoma can be proud that Al has been elected to both the House and the Senate.”
They can be SO proud!
We're certainly are — and we don't even live there!
So inspiring, and so wonderful for equality!
Congrats!
