The leader of the FDP is gay? How progressive.

Are there/have there been any other major German political figures who have been openly gay?

Vera Lengsfeld got 11.6%. The worst result in Germany for the CDU.

Did she ever have a chance in her constituency, or did making a clean breast of things with her campaign poster hurt her chances?

Her constituency was the only one won by a Green in the first vote (direct member election). From what I can tell it may be one of the, if not the, most liberal district in all of Germany. So she never really had a chance.

What does the chart on the right hand side with the arrows pointing in and away from the various boxes mean?

What does the chart on the right hand side with the arrows pointing in and away from the various boxes mean?

It´s the so called "Wählerstromanalyse" (Electoral Flow Analysis). It shows how many voters each party gained or lost from another party or from non-voters compared with the 2005 elections.

And how can you guys tell that? Exit polling?

The Greens look like more of a national party from that map than the SPD does.
