Two LGBT state legislative candidates won their primaries in Delaware Tuesday, the Washington Blade reports. If they go on to win the general election in November, Andy Staton and Marie Mayor would be the first out LGBT legislators in Delaware.
Staton, a gay Rehoboth Beach real estate agent, won his Democratic primary with 58.1% of the vote. Mayor, a Milton Democrat and a lesbian, won her primary election with twice as many votes as her closest challenger.

(25 posts)I know Andy and he's a great candidate and person; but this is a tough district (Christine O'Donnell did well here) so if you have extra money for a good campaign think about sending some to andystaton.com. keep fingers crossed because his opponent is a complete teabagger.
