Indianapolis has quietly passed a milestone in this year's City-County Council race: the first openly gay major-party candidate.
And the second. And the third.
In a state with a handful of openly gay elected officials -- fewer than neighboring states -- the candidates are hoping to increase gays' and lesbians' visibility in local government. But for some of the three -- all Democrats -- the greatest significance is that the prospect of their election has made few waves.

Equality cannot be reached if fought in a divisive way.
