Idaho Elects It's First Lesbian Legislator!

[Erika]

From progressive District 19, in Boise. She's civic minded, progressive, and listens to people. I imagine many of the rabid right wing legislators will wear two sets of gloves before they shake her hand (if they even do that).

1. Dick Cheny's daughter is a lesbian

2. So Is Dick Gephardt's

But this lady won a legislative seat in Idaho.

6. If Dick Gephart would have been Kerry's veep choice,

and Gephart & Cheney's daughters had paired up...

WOW! WHAT a sitcom idea!

The fact that their dads are both named "Dick" suggests numerous humorous titles.

[klook]

3. Wow, that's fantastic

Out there in the land of survivalist white supremacists, whoda thunk it?

[Erika]

4. White Supremecists?

That's in northern Idaho founded by Southern Californians who moved here in the 70's. We've closed them down. Now we just have rightwing nuts to battle, the Falwell/Robertson type. The type who will wear two sets of gloves when dealing with this fine lady.

5. OMIGOD

that'll ruin the sanctity of all the other legislators, it might make the other legislators think it's a cool lifestyle choice :evilgrin:

7. Indeed it might open some eyes.

I, for one, am willing to challenge the huge Idaho Agri business who voted 82% for Bush and the other GOP legislators. Idaho has made a big thing about not allowing breast feeding in public, a GOP legislator said that we should stop them before they flip out their breasts everywhere. How indecent he said. Same with civil unions. Talk about schizoids.

8. Erika, are you in Idaho?

I'm in the Boise area. (Never had any trouble BF-ing in public, but that's neither here nor there.)

As I've said elsewhere, I'm always on the lookout for a fellow Dem in the area.

9. What part of Lebanon is she from? Beirut?

Never know there *were* Lebanese people in Idaho! :crazy:
