US Senate unanimously confirms first openly gay black federal judge
Darrin P Gayles will serve in the district of Florida, after being a circuit judge since 2011.
The George Washington University law school graduate was previously a county judge.
Steve Adkins, the president of the Miami-Dade Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce said the vote, 97-0 for, was testament to Gayles’ character.
“I’m so proud of him. That is such wonderful news. Not only is it a milestone, it’s such a great reward for a job well done,” Adkins said.
