Nothing has been said about him being gay. That would mean he’s not “out” if he is.
Of course everyone in Florida knew Foley was gay and brought his BF to parties and stuff and it was never reported through the “rumors” were active.
I never heard of the guy before he was picked. I got to be believe he will be challenged. John Salazar (possibly didn’t want to risk the seat) and Hinclelooper both gushed praise, we’ll see what they think a year from now.
I would have bet money it would’ve been Hinclelooper, Salazar or outgoing Speaker Romanoff.
My recollection regarding Michael Bennet’s sexual orientation was completely mistaken. Last night I spoke with someone who works with him, and Bennet’s married with three kids; I had mistaken him with someone else that works with him.
It did sound odd that having the first openly gay Senator would have gathered so little attention, so I should have known all along that I was mistaking him for someone else. I apologize for posting that (albeit prefaced with “unless I’m mistaken”) without making sure.
