Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank is optimistic about the likely election of out gay Colorado entrepreneur Jared Polis to Congress this November and says its a signal of changes in society at large:
“We are reaching that point where among Democratic voters sexual orientation of a candidate is not a factor.”
He also joked that he's glad about it for more personal reasons, and plans to start publicly smoking cigars again: “I can start indulging some bad habits. Let the young gay people find someone else to emulate.”
