Election results sober for gay-rights movement
Massachusetts made history by electing an openly gay attorney general, Maura Healey, while Maine's openly gay gubernatorial candidate narrowly lost. Nationally, gay-rights activists face concern as conservative gains in Congress threaten federal anti-bias legislation and several pro gay marriage Democrats lost Senate races. Five openly gay House members were re elected, while newcomers faced defeats. Carl DeMaio faced harassment allegations in a close San Diego race.
