The moment people went wild for Colorado’s first ‘first man’
In one of election night's many firsts, Colorado elected Jared Polis, who will be the country's first openly gay governor.
Not only is Polis open about his sexuality, he has a long-term partner named Marlon Reis.
The realisation that there wouldn’t just be a barrier-breaking gay man in the governor’s mansion, but a gay couple, was not lost on Polis’ supporters.
«I want to thank … my personal support network — first and foremost, of course, my amazing partner, and the first ‘first man’ in the history of Colorado, Marlon Reis», Polis said to a cheering crowd CNN reports.
