In what can only be described as a landslide victory, Rafferty garnered a huge 90% of the vote in his bid to replace retiring state Rep. Patricia Todd, the state’s first openly gay legislator.

News of Rafferty’s triumph caught the attention of folks all over the interwebs, including that of a certain out Olympic skier.

Responding to a tweet celebrating Rafferty winning the seat, hunky Olympic silver medalist Gus Kenworthy offered this invitation: “I have another seat for him.”

He followed that with a blond, bearded emoji face.

    And is there a reason the newly elected governor of Colorado didn’t receive the same praise? Perhaps it’s because he’s not “wooly” or “hunky”, and married with kids. This sort of reporting further perpetuates the notion that we gay men are ALL about physical beauty and sex. It’s pretty pathetic.
