Baldwin is a homo too? I didn’t know that.
Tammy Baldwin (Democrat from Madison, WI) is an “out” lesbian. She actually listed “LGBT” as her “religion” in a survey of members of Congress a few years back.
It’s misleading that they refer to Jared Polis (Democrat from Boulder, CO) as “the first openly gay member elected to the House.” Even if they exclude those that didn’t come out of the closet until after their initial election (but were subsequently reelected), such as Barney Frank, I thought that Tammy Baldwin was already openly lesbian when she was first elected. Maybe not, or maybe The Hill doesn’t deem “gay” to include both males and females with same-sex preference.
I really, really hope that these ultraliberals push a repeal of DOMA, since it will result in even more states adopting marriage-protection constitutional amendments and will revive the movement to adopt a Federal Marriage Amendment. The only risk is that Obama will then speak out against the repeal of DOMA in an attempt at a “Sister Souljah moment” and have people be fooled into thinking that he’s a “moderate” after all. But there is abbsolutely no way that DOMA will be repealed in this Congress.
