Duffy is a veteran federal prosecutor who has earned widespread respect battling criminal drug cartels along the U.S.-Mexico border.

“President Obama has appointed more than 100 LGBT Americans to his administration so far, with about two dozen of those requiring Senate confirmation,” Denis Dison, a vice president at the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund, a group that supports openly gay candidates, told On Top Magazine in an email.
