Lez Talk About Tammy Baldwin

First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hopefully 2013 is a year of acceptance and change for the good. To kick the blog off this year we're going to shine the spotlight on Tammy Baldwin, the first openly gay U.S senator in history.

Tammy Baldwin is from Wisconsin and a member of the Democratic party. According to her voting record, she is the most liberal in congress. She beat Tommy Thompson in the 2012 U.S Senate Election. As early as 1994, she proposed to legalize same- sex marriage in Wisconsin. In 1995 she proposed domestic partnerships in Wisconsin.

I usually stay away from political leaders just because the subject of politics is very sensitive to the majority of people whether you're gay or straight but Tammy Baldwin made history by becoming the first openly gay senator and it's more than nice to see that members of congress are allowing gays and lesbians to join their private circle and help lead this country of which we are all a part of.

Hopefully it's a sign of the equal rights for both gays and straights in the year(s) to come.
