Denis Dison of the blog Gay Politics reports that 48 states now have openly gay elected officials. The two that don't are South Dakota and Alaska (and that means every state in the South does). Dison says even these two most likely have gay officials, just not out.
I wondered for a moment about the gay elected officials in Michigan, though when I saw the list from the Victory Institute database, several names did, indeed, look familiar -- David Coulter, Mayor of Ferndale; Craig Covey, Oakland County Commissioner; Charles Pugh, president of Detroit City Council; and Chris Swope, City Clerk of Lansing. In all, there are 16 openly gay elected officials in Michigan.
