Democratic Connecticut State Representative Jason Bartlett made the decision on Thursday to come out publicly as a gay man. Bartlett says he has always preferred to keep his personal life private, but felt the announcement was needed to quell the rumor mill about his sexual orientation.
Bartlett's coming out makes him unique in the political world as the first openly gay black state legislator, according to the Washington Blade.
