Obama picks MN woman as 1st openly gay US marshal
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has nominated a Minnesota policewoman to become the first openly gay person to serve as a U.S. marshal.
Sharon Lubinski is an assistant chief in the Minneapolis Police Department, where she has worked for 20 years.
Obama has had a rocky relationship with gay activists, who want him to end the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on gays. He publicly pledged last weekend to do so.
He has picked openly gay people to serve in other positions in his administration, including the director of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and the U.S. ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa.

It is one of the better works which U.S president Barack Obama has done by selecting a “Gay” as a first Minnesota policewoman to become the first openly gay person to serve as a U.S. marshal. |
