New Lesbian Super PAC

Posted on 07/11/2012 by mallory

It sounds like the greatest comic book ever written, but it's something better! Some prominent lesbians have gotten together to form a super PAC to support candidates that champion LGBT and women's rights. 

Some of the high powered lesbians who helped launch the PAC include Jane Lynch from Glee; tennis legend Billie Jean King; Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin; and Chicago Cubs co-owner Laura Ricketts.

LPAC's goal is to raise $1 million to support candidates to champion LGBT and women's rights issues. So far they've raised $200,000. 

Lesbian power!
