Baldwin Becomes 1st Openly Lesbian Senator

Tammy Baldwin made history by becoming the first openly LGBT candidate to be elected to the United States Senate tonight. She also became the first woman to be elected statewide in Wisconsin.

And I’m well aware that I will be the first openly gay member of the United States Senate. #Tammy2012 #WIsen
