LGBTQ groups celebrated Rep. Kyrsten Sinema’s victory to represent Arizona in the Senate Monday, and deemed her election as the first openly bisexual person elected to the Senate a “game changer.”

According to LGBTQ Victory Fund, a group dedicated to electing LGBTQ people to various levels of government, Sinema’s victory means that Democrats should make a greater effort to nominate candidates from the LGBTQ community.
