Boston—Attorney General Maura Healey won the Democratic primary for Massachusetts governor on Tuesday, bringing her one step closer to becoming the first openly gay candidate and first woman elected to the state’s top political office—eight years after she was elected the nation’s first openly gay attorney general. Healey, whose only rival for the nomination dropped out of the race but remained on the ballot, will be the heavy favorite in November against the winner of the Republican primary. Former state Rep. Geoff Diehl, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, and businessman Chris Doughty, who is considered more moderate, are running for the GOP nomination.

She could make history by being the first person to be elected governor while having moles in the same position on both shoulders. So what?
Lori Lightfoot is the first openly gay woman to serve as mayor of a city the size of Chicago. How well is that working out for Chicago?

Please raise your hand if you really need or desired to know the sexuality of a democrat candidate for governor of Massachusetts.
Hmmm. No one? Didn't think so. Democrat and Massachusetts provides me all the information I need to know. If , as we've been told since the 90s, there is toxic masculinity there must be toxic homosexuality that is just as boorish and offensive. "Openly gay" politicians have basically announced, "Im going to force you to know my sexual preference whether you like it or not."

So being a homosexual is a preferred qualifier for the office of Governor in the Commonwealth? Who knew?

Her nickname is "Hold-it Healey". Back a few years when politicians started pushing the policy of all allowing men in women's rooms. When some women began complaining about it not being safe, she suggested that if you gotta go, and you don't want to use the co-ed bathrooms, then "Hold It!" until you get home. Another Massachusetts beaut.

It's no surprise to anyone that Massachusetts would elect a gay Governor.
Heck : They elected a fake Indian for senator.

in the world of Massachusetts, ie: Boston political hackery, she is one of the more constant and consistent examples, she is closely allied with horseface kerry and the Boston bigwigs and would bring Massachusetts to a moral and ethical level considered not attainable in the this state which is, by the way, one shining example of political extremism and has been under demcommie control for as long as there has been a demcommie party

I really do not want to know if someone is gay or straight. I do want to know that the person is not going to bring personal business into the job. I doubt the persons running for governor have spent even a minute focusing on what the job is, and is not.

How refreshing it might be to get the first openly-competent Governor, instead. Screw the idiotic identity politics.

Do we really care who is “openly gay” any more? Do the rest of us talk about who is “openly heterosexual” or “openly white” or “openly gentile”?

Every time a self-described homosexual, or black. or hispanic, or transgender, or--- what-have-you either runs for political office or does something else as a "first," we are compelled to applaud. Reminds me of my toddlers, who, when being toilet trained, were encouraged by clapping and verbally praising them after producing a stool in the bowl. Anyone else have similar reaction?

So being gay is more important than competence? No wonder our country is going to Hell.

Wrong again! Kate brown is the first openly gay female govenor. She wasn’t elected but installed because our govenors girl toy was playing shady games. Yuck

Female and lesbian, but is she competent? The answer to that is unimportant, isn't it.
I refer you to the mayoress of Chicago and the governor of Oregon.

Personally, I'm looking forward to voting for the first openly heterosexual politician. Maybe even first openly Caucasian one.

Checking two boxes gets one very close to winning the election, especially in Massachusetts where conservatives usually don't stand a chance. The state is like a Venus Fly Trap for rude, obnoxious, liberal know-it-alls.

Is being gay a qualification for being Governor? Will it make her a better Governor? No! It seems that being gay or some type of "first" is the only qualification that Democrats require of their candidates lately in order to show their diversity. What we really end up with is a bunch of unqualified, liberal activists who are not diverse.

YET AGAIN we ask - WHY is the person's sexual preference even mentioned?? Dems either play the race card, the sex card, every freaking card in the deck EXCEPT the QUALIFICATION card.
ARE THEY QUALIFIED for the job, will they do the job as REQUIRED BY LAW??
They NEVER seem to answer that question satisfactorily.

No offense to Mormons but gay rights activists have become like a crazed ugly version of Mormons. You’re going about your day, minding your own business and the doorbell rings. Outside are two (usually handsome) young men in suit pants, short sleeved shirts and ties who know you’re home and want to lecture you about something you have no interest in. Your instinct is to say, “I don’t want any” or “Mind your own business” but you don’t want to be rude. But at least Mormons are easy on the eyes and polite AND they don’t call you a “Mormophobe” just because they bore you.

Apparently Maura would be the first one for Massachusetts, though, #22.
And just to make it clear (since the comment seems almost ambiguous even to its poster), #15 isn't saying that she's competent and we should shut up about identity politics. She and the "Progressive" news media are making a bigger deal about her sexual orientation than about whether she's competent. And that means either that being gay is more important to them than whether she's competent, or that her orientation's being emphasized to distract attention from her lack of competence... NEITHER of which should be applauded by anybody.

With qualifications like that, how can she lose? The sky would be the limit if only she were black.
