Elena Kagan seems to be President Obama's choice to fill the vacancy on the highest court in the land, The Supreme Court. If so this will seat three women on the court, a first and welcome sign of equality in the sexes...we hope.
Since Kagan is unmarried, rumors abound that she is a lesbian. It is interesting to note that in decades past her Jewish heritige would have caused a clamor, but she will be only one of three Jewish members of the court if her nomination succeeds, the other six are Catholic. I imagine the Protestant faiths are a little concerned at the moment.
The personal life of any nominee will be subject to questioning in front of the Congressional panel that will review her credentials for the posting. It remains to be seen if the question of her sexual orientation is considered a necessary part of that inquiry.
The attached article covers some interesting ground as it seems many hope she is a lesbian, although that may have little influence on her decisions if she takes a seat on the high court. Go Elena!
