Pentagon And House At Odds Over Tammy Baldwin Spouse Travel

Tuesday, April 1, 2008 Pentagon Freaks over Presence of Lesbian Politico is reporting that Rep. Tammy Baldwin, the only openly lesbian member of Congress, recently had some trouble taking her wife, Lauren Azar on a Congressional fact finding trip to Europe. They were flying on military aircraft and members of Congress routinely take spouses on official trips for protocol purposes. Baldwin and Azar were married, but her home state of Wisconsin doesn’t recognize such icky things as people in love making a life long commitment to each other.
