A deputy speaker of Britain's House of Commons, Conservative Nigel Evans, came out Dec. 19.
He said he was "tired of living a lie" and was worried about threats from a Labour MP to out him.
A day later, Evans, 53, attended the launch of a new group for gay MPs called ParliaOut.
Evans represents the Lancashire constituency of Ribble Valley and becomes the 22nd openly gay member of the current House of Commons.
