Each week, The Advocate newsletter has a little bit of LGBTQ+ trivia.
This week’s question: Who was the first elected lesbian governor?
This week's answer: Well, it's tricky. Maura Healey of Massachusetts won first thanks to her being on the East Coast. Tina Kotek of Oregon was elected the same night but she's on the West Coast. So, both Healey and Kotek won their elections to be governors on the same day in 2020.
