Congrats! (Image via official portrait) New York City Council member Ritchie Torres, 32, has defeated unrepentant homophobe Rubén Díaz in New York's 15th Congressional District.
He — along with Mondaire Jones in New York's 17th, if results hold — will become the first gay, Black man to serve in Congress, as incumbent Jose Serrano is not running for re-election in November.
