Didja see this?

The Denver Post did a nice profile of openly gay Congressman and new dad, Jared Polis.

Polis says having a son, Caspian, with partner Marlon Reis has changed his perspective about the work he’s doing as a member of Congress. 

“It's a great responsibility, and it redoubles my desire to make the world a better place for Caspian to grow up in,” said Polis, speaking of the baby boy he and his partner Marlon Reis welcomed Sept. 30.

Marlon Reis (pictured left), the partner of openly gay U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo. (pictured right), says building friendships with other congressional spouses has helped him navigate his new role. 

The couple met in 2006, two years before Polis became the first openly gay male freshman elected to Congress.
