Latina Lesbian Named To Colorado Supreme Court

Monica Marquez, 41, has been  named by Democratic governor Bill Ritter to become the first out lesbian and first Latina to be on the Colorado Supreme Court.

"It is not because Monica is a Latina or because she is gay," Ritter said, according to The Denver Post. "I chose her because of her analytical ability and her keen intellect."

Interestingly, Oregon CURRENTLY has two openly gay State Supreme Court Justices, Virgina Linder and   Rives Kustler.
