Better than us at a more than hockey

I know we just elected our first openly gay senator -- Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin.   Meanwhile, now there are four female Premiers of Canada's ten provinces...and this:

Ontario's Liberals have chosen a former cabinet minister to become the province's first female premier and first openly gay leader of a Canadian province.

In her acceptance speech as the new provincial Liberal party leader, Kathleen Wynne, 59, a former Ontario education minister, thanked her partner, Jane, for her support during a three-month campaign. Ontario was one of the first Canadian provinces to allow same-sex marriage.

I believe Jane is her wife. They've been married a while.
