National Journal Special Issue on 'Gay Washington'

The entire country has lost its mind. We're all homosexuals now.

At National Journal, "Special Report: Gay Washington."
"This town has always been a (sometimes ambivalent) home for ambitious, closeted gay men and women. But now, ballot measures, state legislatures, and federal judges are advancing LGBT rights by the day; more openly gay members join Congress every cycle; the issues they and their allies champion occupy pride of place on the political agenda; and even Washington culture has become entirely habituated. ... Our correspondents see these changes on their beats every day. In this first such special issue—yet another first—we've begun to record the transformation in a systematic way. This is what the new world looks like." -- Adam B. Kushner, Executive Editor, National Journal Magazine.
At the cover photo, that's Representative Kyrsten Sinema in the front row, second from left. I wrote about her here, "Kyrsten Sinema, Bisexual Israel-Hating Antiwar Radical, is Face of Today's Democrat Party." To her left is Wisconsin Representative Mark Pocan, an unhinged anti-Koch Brothers conspiracist. These whackjobs are what "Gay Washington" is all about.
