Meet Jarrett Barrios

Jarret Barrios is the first and only openly gay senator in Massachusets, and openly gay candidate in the senate that is able to pass bills on federal assault and other issues some that may concern gays, he is married and has 2 children with his partner. i know that every state is not ready for gay marriage because we have seen it in our communities and in our states. but would you vote yes or no on a gay candidate who is openly gay and married with children to represent your state. do you think the State of Washington is ready for something as accepting as a gay senator . what are your opinions.
since we didnt discuss any form of gayness in office or government in our class or readings or videos or class discussions, i found it interesting to find this video on youtube of Jarrot Barrios who is not your stereotypical gay guy or at least a representation of what it is to be gay and in politics, i think it gives a different point of view to the public and a way to possibly gain more acceptance when viewing more educated good representation of gays in politics for the society and for states.
