Two disheartening stories today about lesbians and the U.S. government.

First up, a woman in a DOJ department affiliated with the U.S. Attorneys’ Office might have been fired for being a lesbian.

Second, the U.S. military tried to prevent Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin from bringing her partner with her on a military flight to Europe for an official trip. (Via Deke Rivers.)

It’s 2008. This kind of shit is completely unacceptable.
