Chris Pappas is a piece of shit. He's the kind of gay guy who hits on other gay guys behind closed doors and when.they reject him, he's bigoted towards them. Very much Mr Respectability Politics and a spineless pick-me.
I have found no representation anywhere on any level in today's politics, so this doesn't surprise me. As far as I'm concerned, if you're in politics and you are not demanding a full remodeling of the political system in this country, then you aren't representing me, queer or not.
Thats said, I guess its nice to see that there was only one who was in favor, I'd have thought there might be more given the current situation.
