The
number of openly LGBT members of Congress could shrink to just one or
grow to at least seven after the 2012 elections, according to this

The Victory Fund has so far endorsed four non-incumbent candidates for House seats, in addition to openly gay incumbents Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., and Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I. The group also is
backing Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., in her race for the U.S. Senate.
