(Senator-elect Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) on election night.)
(CNSNews.com) Voters in Wisconsin sent Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) to the U.S. Senate on Tuesday making her the first open lesbian to be elected to the upper chamber.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) activists say the victory was the "crown jewel" in a night of victories that voters handed homosexuals.
Tonight we have won a huge victory for Wisconsins middle class, Baldwin told supporters in Madison, declaring victory. The people's voice was heard tonight, Wisconsin, and come January, your voice will be heard in the United States Senate.
Baldwin was the first openly homosexual candidate to win election to the U.S. Congress, when voters sent her to the House in 1998. The seven-term congresswoman will replace retiring liberal Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.)
She defeated former Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson, who served as secretary of Health and Human Services for President George W. Bush, in a race which saw in excess of $30 million from outside groups being dumped into the Badger State.
LGBT groups crowed about the victory which came at the same time voters in Maine and Maryland approved initiatives in favor of same-sex marriage and voters in Minnesota voted down an effort to define marriage as a relationship between one man and one woman.
Tonight, we achieved historic victories in the fight for LGBT equality, HRC President Chad Griffin said Tuesday night.
We secured our first-ever electoral victories for marriage in Maine, Maryland, and Minnesota; Tammy Baldwin is headed to the U.S. Senate; and President Obama securing a second term. We can take time to celebrate these victories, but tomorrow we have to get right back to the work of telling our stories, changing hearts and minds, and improving conditions for every single LGBT American.
Chuck Wolfe, president of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund said Tuesday will go down in history.
Tonight Tammy shattered a glass ceiling that has existed for more than two centuries, and we could not be more thrilled, Wolfe said.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin state Rep Mark Pocan, who is also an open homosexual, will replace Baldwin in the U.S House, and former Clinton White House staffer Sean Maloney -- an openly homosexual man -- beat Republican Rep. Nan Hayworth (R-N.Y.) to represent New Yorks 18th congressional district.
Rome fell and we are following exactly in the same, identical fashion. Without a strong moral fiber, we're done! Like one wise man said in paraphrase, This nation cannot be governed by anything but a well informed and moral people. The average person is not well informed, nor are they moral. Bottom line: We're toast!
Another example of the U.S. circling the drain.
ah baloney
Hillary Rodham’s husband outed her to his mistresses
way back wasn’t there a black lesbian Senator named Barbara Jordan?
we don’t even want to go into the closets of the female USSC and cabinet selections
I thought Barbara Mikulski of MD was a lesbian. If not she ought to change her style
I am strongly of the mind we are a divided nation and not repairable. I think we need to divide up. How about the normal people whom I consider as moral, sober, conservative, and producers take half the states and the rest can go to hell.
Look at the election map from last evening. Put all the blue states into one pot and all the red states into another and each go their own way. This is a statement against self interest as I would have to move over the boarder in Ga. I won’t miss them.
And people like you are the reason we lost the election with your hateful nutball talk.
God will not be mocked. Romans 1: 18-32 ..... we are there, under the direct judgement of Almight God who did not have mercy and deliver us.
Lesbians have added nothing positive to Senatorial process.
Let them have their homo, turd poking, strap on sex , pro illegals, debt, big Govt and spending utopia and leave the people with morals, workers, respect the law, normal hard working folk to get on with life instead of always having to react tot heir radical socialist homo agenda
Since when was it natural or normal or what nature intended when a woman has ot wear a strap on pretend penis, then pretend to be a guy and then have sex with another woman.
When did it become healthy, natural, normal etc when a man wants and gets turned on by wanting to insert his penis into another mans hole where feces come out of.
It;’s utterly sick and they are proud of that.
We had a troll yesterday on here before he got banned but he kept saying the GOP has to be more pro homo, YEA RIGHT, and how kids accept it more, though he admits he has no kids unlike me.
I told him that here my kids an dtheir friends and where my wife works with kids do not accept the homosexuality.
If they ever do then ask a boy aged 14 that do you think sticking a body part up a place which was designed for feces, turds etc come out is good and I guarantee that they will say yuck but what we have is Hollywood and the media making it out that homosexuality is all about love.
It is not , I love my dog but feel no need to have sex with it

The jokes write themselves.
Agreed. When CWII comes, it will be just like 151 years ago, family & friends will be split. Need to start figuring out who will be in front of my sights and who will be behind them. Sounds harsh but that's the direction we're moving in.
Sorry your ox was gored.
what the hell are you on about, the poster never made any hate comment, that line of attack you have just done is what th left does when one opposes their agenda.
Homosexuality is not normal, a man getting turned on about wanting to stick his penis up a hole where feces comes out of is not healthy, nor normal nor natural or what nature intended.
It is a perverted sex and that is it and they think they shoudl ne proud of how they have their sex and then be celebrated as if they’re hero’s?
We never lost the election because of talk like that we lost it due to voter fraud, a media which lied and a community of blacks who are racst and only voted based on color.

Cue the Church Lady, “Well, isn’t that special?”
Is that another hateful statement? /sarc
ping to post 6.
Honestly, it;s like we have some on our side which want the perversion to our platform. Homosexuals women or men need mental help, there is nothing normal in how they have sex and if people actually thought on how they have sex and then parade around with pride and flags then they might wake up, especially our side.
Hateful? Unfortunately, some choose to interpret the truth as “hateful” and use it as a political bludgeon.
The bitch makes me sick as she is MY representative. SHe was labeled the MOST LIBERAL of all in Washington and now she’s a senator. She is more liberal than Pelosi and that is REALLY bad. Maybe she will come up with some sort of bad disease due to her life style.
I’m sure that there have been others before her.
But what an individual chose to do with their private parts used to be, well, private.
From the “love that dare not speak its name” to the “love that won’t shut the hell up.”
