Kyrsten Sinema is the first openly bisexual person elected to Congress. She’s also the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate from Arizona. Sharice Davids, a lesbian, won a seat in Kansas and Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., was elected governor of Colorado. Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign, said the wins are a rejection of the Trump administration. Gay Americans have previously expressed frustration with President Donald Trump’s polices and proposals.
