Massachusetts Republican gubernatorial hopeful Charlie Baker has picked an openly gay running mate.
Baker announced that he had picked State Senate Minority Leader Richard Tisei on his campaign website and Facebook page.
"Richard has years of experience fighting for the taxpayer on Beacon Hill and I'm thrilled to have him on the team," Baker said in a statement.

"It is not exactly a news flash," Tisei said of his sexuality. "I don't think people really care these days."
Tisei fought for marriage equality in Massachusetts and supported a state challenge to the federal Defense Of Marriage Act.
i detect a trend in the rep party- first women VP, and black chairman of the rep national committee, now a gay running mate for governor. i predict we will see the first gay VP running mate in 2012, just in time for the end of the world.
