State to Have Record 10% LGBT Legislature

California’s reputation as a trailblazer is about to add another statistic — a record-breaking number of LGBT members in its state legislature.

Three Democrats who are likely winners of the midterm election will bring the total up to 10% LGBT representation, a first in the nation. Depending on the outcome, this will mean 12 to 14 members, including four to six new ones, Mercury News reported.

The seats are in Los Angeles and its suburbs. The secretary of state has announced that election results will be certified by Dec. 16.

“Representation is power,” said Equality California Executive Director Tony Hoang in a statement. “LGBTQ+ people belong in every room and deserve a seat at every table where decisions impacting our community and our lives are being made. While state legislatures across the country attack our community — and our trans kids and LGBTQ+ students in particular — California will continue to lead the nation’s fight for LGBTQ+ equality and serve as a beacon of hope to LGBTQ+ people everywhere, in no small part because of our historic, proportional representation in Sacramento.” (Read more from “State to Have Record 10% LGBT Legislature” HERE)
