Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | Out for America actually keeps track of elected LBTQ officials in America. It's amazing. 557 Total number of LGBTQ elected officials nationwide with 18 of them Republican and 104 in California There are 400 LBTQ candidates this fall. 1 Governor Kate Brown Governor of Oregon Sexual Orientation Bisexual 7 US Congress 4 Statewide 35 Mayor (2 Republican) 119 State Legislature (8 Republican) 297 Local (7 Republican) 94 Judicial (1 Republican) I am actually surprised to see only 4 in Nevada as won of the lower numbers in any state (Mississippi, Louisiana, Hawaii, and S. Dakota were zero) Pat Spearman Nevada State Senate Location District 1, NV Sexual Orientation Lesbian Dave Parks Nevada State Senate Location District 7, NV Sexual Orientation Gay Nelson Araujo Nevada Assembly Location District 3, NV Sexual Orientation Gay Kelvin Atkinson Nevada State Senate Location District 4, NV Sexual Orientation Gay |

And people are fleeing Calif in record numbers. It's all part of the equation.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Give a quote credit where credit is due I 1st heard that from James Carville "Pennsylvania is Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with Alabama in between." By the way, LGBT run cities are the best cities to visit. Who doesnt love visiting Key West Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Who doesn't love stepping around piles of human crap on the sidewalk and used needles on the floor of BART in San Francisco. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
