Montana's first openly gay candidate for federal office

http://billingsgazette.com/news/government-and-politics/juneau-becomes-montana-s-st-openly-gay-candidate-for-federal/article_439a27d3-fa58-5485-8e17-130d9d8f80d7.html

Denise Juneau has won two statewide elections as a Native American woman.

As the 48-year-old congressional candidate ramps up her campaign against first-term Republican U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke, she is matter-of-fact about her sexual orientation, making her Montana’s first openly gay candidate running for federal office.

While Juneau introduced the woman she is dating at a fundraiser in Bozeman last week, she has been open for some time about her sexuality, without making a big deal of it.
