A new survey provides clues into juuust how many gays are working on Capitol Hill
new survey from the Senate Democrats highlights the diversity of each senator’s staff using race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation (unsurprisingly, Senate Republicans don’t produce a comparable list).
While all of those numbers are interesting, we’re focused on the gays, of course. Everybody knows staffers do all of the real legislative work, anyway; so we’re here, we’re queer and we’re running the country!Pennsylvania’s Bob Casey tops the list, with 30% of his staffers identifying as LGBTQ+.
Patty Murray of Washington comes in second, and John Fetterman also from Pennsylvania, places third. .@SenBobCasey appears to have the *gayest* Senate Democratic office — 30% of his staff identify as LGBTQ.
Close runner-ups: Murray – 29%Fetterman – 28% Sanders – 26% Cortez Masto – 26% Peters – 26% Smith – 26% Wyden – 26%https://t.co/wr7qsyDVNSFetterman, who’s serving his first term, celebrated his ranking with the classic Jennifer Coolidge meme from White Lotus… which we would like to think was the brilliant work of a gay on his social media team.
