WILMINGTON, Delaware (WPVI) Delaware Senator Sarah McBride became a first on Tuesday when she took the oath in Claymont. She s the country s first openly transgender state senator and the highest-ranking transgender elected official in the nation. As I reflect on the journey till today I am reminded of the change that it reflects: that we are a community and a country that has continuously opened our hearts and changed our minds and increasingly judged people on their skills and talents not on their identities, McBride said.
McBride s swearing-in ceremony sheds light that while 4.5% of adults identify as LGBTQ in the US, according to the Victory Institute, less than 1% are elected officials.
