DescriptionThe initial story last night was Democrats winning back control in the Colorado state House and winning it big.

But now, the bigger story is the positive implications this race could have for Colorado’s gay community.

With Democrats taking back the majority in the House, it means that minority leader Mark Ferrandino will most likely be made the new speaker of the House in January.

And according to FOX31 Denver’s political reporter Eli Stokols, that’s not the only upcoming victory for the gay community in the state’s legislative branch. Sources tell Stokols that Pat Steadman will have the votes needed to be elected state Senate president on Thursday.
