Gay GOP Candidates Leaving the Closet in 2014

In a sign of the times, gay Republicans vying for seats in Congress are not running away from their sexual orientation this election cycle, but on it.

DeMaio is one of three out Republicans running for Congress in 2014, each of whom have done little to hide their personal lives from voters. While DeMaio’s ad, originally reported on by The Wall Street Journal, is being pegged as a historic first for the GOP, that does not seem to be the case.

Dan Innis, another out Republican running for Congress from New Hampshire, prominently featured his husband, Doug Palardy, and children in his campaign announcement released last October.

Meanwhile, in Massachusetts, Richard Tisei has shown no qualms about discussing his sexual orientation, having appeared on a number of cable news shows in recent weeks to discuss his bid to become the first out Republican elected to Congress. Full story here!
