After a hard-fought race in a newly formed Arizona congressional district, Democrat Kyrsten Sinema was declared the winner today, becoming the first openly bisexual member of Congress.
Sinema, a former state senator, joins at least five openly gay Democrats who were elected to House seats, and Tammy Baldwin, who became the first openly gay candidate elected to the Senate.
When asked by ABCNews.com how it felt to be the first openly bisexual member of Congress, Sinema said, Weve made history, and were proud of that, but what I am interested in is making history by making things better for the people of Arizonas 9th Congressional District.
Sinema, 36, had a razor-thin lead on Election Night against her opponent, Tea Party candidate Vernon Parker, but she ultimately pulled ahead, finishing with a 6,000-vote edge over the Republican, the Associated Press reported today.

Do they still allow open heterosexuals in the Democrat party?

RE: #4, OK, which one is the pitcher and which one is the catcher? I never quite understand how these queer things work.

“bisexual” = no desire to control her desire.
Disgusting.

haha, you’d think the REAL NOW hags would get mad at a “sellout” glamming herself up with blond hair and tight-fitting clothes.

Does this mean she can work both sides of the aisle?

Finally, a chance for some real bipartisanship, or is that bi-partnership.

I hope that someday in America, openly conservative members of congress will receive the same level of acceptance and tolerance as the openly gay, openly bisexual, openly trisexual, and openly transgendered members.

Why is the media so interested in everyone’s sexuality?

Pretty pathetic when the major element in your life that identifies who you are is a baloney smoker or a carpet muncher. Or both.

She is also a self-described socialist and has connections to the Communist Party, and is known for her tirade attacking stay at home mothers. And they elected her anyway.
