"Oui, je suis gai Qu'est-ce que ça change?": Mike Michaud, candidat au poste de gouverneur du Maine

S'il devait l'emporter, Michaud serait le premier gouverneur ouvertement gai aux États-Unis.

 "So I wasn’t surprised to learn about the whisper campaigns, insinuations and push-polls some of the people opposed to my candidacy have been using to raise questions about my personal life. They want people to question whether I am gay.

 Allow me to save them the trouble with a simple, honest answer: “Yes, I am. But why should it matter?”

 That may seem like a big announcement to some people. For me, it’s just a part of who I am, as much as being a third-generation millworker or a lifelong Mainer. One thing I do know is that it has nothing to do with my ability to lead the state of Maine."
