Hey, Bisexuals Exist!
The Post reports that the first openly bisexual person since David Bowie will be representing the Upper East Side in the State Assembly:
An aide to City Comptroller William Thompson became the first openly bisexual member of the state Legislature last night after defeating his Republican opponent in a special election.
Micah Kellner, a Democrat, took 64 percent of the vote to Republican Gregory Camp’s 36.
Kellner, 28, a top aide to Thompson, has also worked for Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Manhattan).
“We campaigned on the issues and I really think that’s what voters responded to,” Kellner said.
The special election in the 65th Assembly District — which covers the Upper East Side and Roosevelt Island — fills a seat held for 33 years by Democrat Pete Grannis, who now heads the state Department of Environmental Conservation. There are currently four openly gay members serving in the Legislature.
We’re still waiting for a statement from Sean Delonas, assuming he knows the difference between gay and bisexual.
