Sean Patrick Maloney has become the second openly gay non-incumbent to win election to Congress tonight. He beat Rep. Nan Hayworth, a Republican who is serving in her first term in the House.
Sean Patrick Maloney
Maloney, a former staffer in Bill Clinton’s White House, has a partner of 20 years and three children.
“We can’t wait for Sean to show his colleagues in the House his pride in his family, and his commitment to the people of New York’s 18th Congressional District,” said Chuck Wolfe, president and CEO of the Victory Fund. Maloney joins Wis. State Rep Mark Pocan, who won his race tonight to replace Rep. Tammy Baldwin in the House. ”Sean has been a leader in New York, serving two governors and working hard to secure a more promising future for his children. He will also be a strong voice in Congress for fairness and equality.”
He is the first openly LGBT member of Congress from New York.

Thats awesome!!!!!! Salina, Kansas just legalized discrimination against LGBT
Yeah I so love this man and what he stands for!!!!
too bad he didn’t run for President!
Yes NY!!!
Gorgeous to boots!!
Maybe in 4 years!!
I say if it’s legal to discriminate against LGBT then it damn well better be legal to discriminate against those who do so. Matter of fact, I think it is… starting now.
You will love our just elected openly gay Senator Tammy Baldwin and so proud of both of you!
Honestly , it doesnt make any difference who they prefer… male or female…. what matters is that they fight for what is right ..
I love you, NY.
LOVE NY!! :)
i love you Sean…. go go for the voooo….
