Lesbian of the YEAR, Robin McGeHee

2010 – Lesbian of the Year: Robin McGehee

In this year’s   Annual Heroes and Zeroes by Melanie of LezGetReal found at http://lezgetreal.com/2010/12/2010-heroes-and-zeroes/ – we named Robin McGeHee Activist of the year with Constance McMillen – and here we in this separate acknowledgment we must Name Lesbian of the Year and that goes to  Robin McGeHee Lesbian of the Year.

David Mixner chose Robin as his Lesbian of the Year, saying ” Robin became the poster child of the new activism in the American LGBT community. Through get GetEQUAL she arranged protests all over the country from Washington, DC to San Francisco. She has shown a remarkable organizer’s skill in negotiating the treacherous waters of LGBT grassroots politics. She represents a new generation of leadership with passion, principles and a great family to boot!”

We could not agree more!

Runners Up to Lesbian of the Year:

Chely Wright

- Author Country Singer   for her Book which my Thirteen Year Old daughter read twice,

and   Rachel Maddow – MSNBC Political Host – for doing her job so well
