First openly bisexual governor in American history
2015-02-14
[WASHINGTONPOST] Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown (D) will become the first openly bisexual governor in U.S. history when Gov. John Kitzhaber (D) resigns Wednesday.
And that's really, really important. For some reason.
An open LGBT governor has never been elected, although New Jersey did have an openly gay governor briefly in 2004, after Gov. Jim McGreevey (D) came out as gay and admitted an affair with a man he had appointed to a key job. He resigned three months later.
Had he been porking a woman he'd appointed to a key job things would have been different unless he quibbled over the meaning of "is."
Brown is married to husband Dan Little; she has publicly discussed her bisexuality in past campaigns.
Wow. That's really interesting. Being stodgy and old-fashioned, I only have intimate relations with my wife, and that not very often anymore.
Thanks for stopping, Dan, you're a dear. Don't forget the milk, bread, and batteries.
She is already arguably the highest-ranking bisexual elected official in America; Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) became the first bisexual member of Congress in 2013. There are about 525 openly LGBT public officials in office at all levels of government, according to the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund. Most of them are Democrats, said interim executive director Denis Dison, and only about 20 are Republicans.
We guessed that. One of these days the grown-ups in this country will slap these bozeaux down. As far as I can recall--it's been awhile; we're going to have to try it again sometime--having "intimate relations" involves taking your pants off and anywhere from 30 seconds to an hour or so, usually about twenty minutes. Surely what a person does in the other 23 hours and 40 minutes of the day is more important? Or is importance added by the fact that it's gotten pretty common not to do it in private anymore?

#14  Speaking of hemaphrodites , I was reminded of a Jimmy Duranty joke when I was a kid.

I was walking through the park one day when I looked and saw a little woim sticking out of the ground. He saw another little woim nearby, and said to the other little woim, "You're cute I want to marry you." And the other little woim looked at him and said, "Don't be a dope! I'm your other end!"

#13  I be leave the next steps are pediphilia and beastality. Harry Reid is a step in that direction according to reliable rumors....

#12  Possibly JohnQC. I believe that it is when hemaphrodites get together.

Trisexual? Is that where the person tries anything sexual?

#10  Ditto barb. My bet is that the vast majority of people really don't give a rats ass who or what they do in private.

It's the LGBT crowd who are making a big deal out of it.

#9  "First openly bisexual governor"

Who cares?

I don't care if you sleep with a sheep (or 2), as long as it's a consenting adult sheep and the baa-ing doesn't keep me up at night.

Just SHUT UP about your sex life - I don't care.

And mine is none of your goddam business, either.

#6  @#2: Nah, only homosexual men are allowed to be fabulous. Double swing-door females get to be condescending. Not all, fortunately, take up this banner.

If the world does not bore me with their sexual preferences, I'll be happy to reciprocate in kind.
