It would also be good to see the first gay man in the Dáil who doesn't lie about his or her sexuality. Yeah there's Norris in the Senate but he's a vaudeville act I still think the tabloids will decide to make a non-story about his sexuality closer to the election. Nature of the beast.

For instances they are 2 parties (not sure of the greens but they are newerish) mainly calling for seperation of schools from education. I am not sure his sexuality will count for much. There was a Fianna Fail council in Wexford outed by a newspaper. And it drew little protest from people in wexford save for people critising the paper. I wouldn't consider it a big deal what the sexuality of a TD was. What is your own opinion on that matter is it a step forward or does it even matter? maybe Colm realised the stupidity of Labours ecommic policies. :)
