The Rhode Island House of Representatives has a new House Speaker—Gordon D. Fox was elected today as the state’s first black and openly gay Speaker. He said in a speech that “change is absolutely necessary,” which is all fine and dandy, but we’re wondering how long it will take before someone declares Rhode Island’s House a “post-racial” (and post-sexual orientation?) body. (Disclaimer: we haven’t read the comments section yet.)
