Great news, y'all! Small gains, means a lot!
Here's the scoop:
Marcus Brandon has been elected to the North Carolina House of Representatives. He will represent the cities of Greensboro and High Point in the state legislature.
Brandon will be the only openly LGBT state legislator in North Carolina, and one of just five openly LGBT African-Americans serving in state legislatures across the country (including Maryland House of Delegates candidate Mary Washington, who will also win tonight).
This is good, because there are a lack of LGBT African-Americans in office. I hope this is a growing trend.
