GAY POCANS DO WELL BY GOVERNOR

Rep. Mark Pocan, one of the two gay members of the Wisconsin legislature, has been a steadfast defender of Governor Jim Doyle. Ma Pocan must be proud, since the governor appointed her other gay son, William S. Pocan to become judge in Milwaukee County.
Bill Pocan, an east sider who has served as a litigation attorney in automobile "lemon law" cases, is openly gay, according to the August issue of Queer Life News, which announced the appointment in its news pages. He has taken over the duties of Branch 26 Judge Michael P. Sullivan, who retired. The appointment was announced on July 17th with little fanfare, which is unusual for Wisconsin's most charismatic and dynamic current governor, whose political instincts are usually as resilient as a cardboard trap.

What is your point? That a family can have more than one gay person in it? You can't be suggesting a gay person shouldn't be a judge? You have problems with how the announcement was made?

Would you have written this post had the Judge been hetro?
