Oregon's governor, four-term Democrat John Kitzhaber, resigned this morning because his fiancée secretly married an Ethiopian alternative energy wind farm for which she had been doing paid consulting work. Or something. (It's complicated.) Anyway, with Kitzhaber's resignation, Oregon's secretary of state, Kate Brown, became Oregon's 38th governor and the nation's first openly bisexual governor:
Oregon made history on Wednesday. The now-former Secretary of State Kate Brown became the country’s first openly bisexual governor when she was sworn in as leader of the Beaver State to replace an embattled fellow Democrat. She also was the country’s first bisexual statewide officeholder, and previously served for almost two decades in Oregon’s House and Senate.... The only other LGBT governor in U.S. history was former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey, who was pressured to announce he was gay and resign in 2004 amid sexual harassment allegations.Gov. Kate Brown
I want to be the first to welcome Oregon's new bisexual overlords.
