Election Results Are In: How Did LGBT Candidates Fare?

 Holyoke's Mayor a Big First 

Massachusetts voters in Holyoke picked Alex Morse, a 22-year-old gay man, as their new mayor on Tuesday.

"Old Holyoke fell to New Holyoke," reported MassLive.com on the race. Morse was backed by the Victory Fund and is apparently not only the first openly gay mayor but also the youngest in the town's history. Morse replaced a 67-year-old straight woman whom he beat in the primary. — Lucas Grindley
