Okay, seriously? I hate the way this sounds. When are we honestly going to stop keeping statistics like this?
"So and so will become the first gay-black-Muslim from Milwaukee to be...."

She's a triple minority, not a likely candidate for such a position. Now young Hispanic lesbos know they have a shot at something like this. It gives people hope and pride. Plus, it also shows how things are progressing.

I understand that as a triple minority, it isn't a likely sight in any regard even if there wasn't any biased tendencies towards minorities. But while I can understand that it is a "victory" for people like us and likewise, I can't help but feel that the report on it is playing on those factors rather then her actual credentials.
I don't know about you guys, but I NEVER EVER want to see my name like this. "First gay Italian Catholic..." its a bit insulting. I mean, play up the factors in my career that contributed to my appointment - not factors of who I am that I had absolutely nothing to do with in the title. I know it doesn't make good reporting but the sooner we get over these irrelevant factors, the sooner we can focus on more important things.

When people stop feeling the need to keep score, which is never.
Where are the Innuit federal judges? How many are there? Where are the Hopi, Navajo, Cherokee federal judges?
I find it telling that the link states Obama nominates openly lesbian Hispanic justice not top of her law school graduating class or any other identifier Or honors other than her gender, orientation, and ethnicity. As if any of those things, in and of themselves, make her a better jurist than the next.
Please, it's vote buying and a thank you for the votes.

A KKK member would be biased and partial and therefore a very poor choice. I don't see the connection.
I just want to know what her credentials are besides being a gay latina. Gays and Latinas can be racist biased too y'know.

Well, thats not really my point. I mean from a news reporting perspective. I'm not actually looking for her credentials - I'm sure she's qualified. I just wish the news story itself reflected that rather then focus on traits that aren't relevant to her posting. Because those factors that weren't relevant were played up, it just seems like she appointed just because of those factors.

What are you talking about?! There was more stuff written about her previous positions and where she graduated from, then her being gay! Plus it's a gay website. What do you expect?

Okay - you are TOTALLY missing my point.
I'm not personally saying anything against her. Great - good for her for the appointment. I'm saying that I don't like how news agency report on this story. How the titles say she is the first lesbian hispanic to be nominated. It isn't just that site. Quick Google search her - all of the news related to her has "Latina: and "Lesbian" in the title as if they were her defining traits. If I were her, I'd be insulted.
Iceblink saidIcebuckets, with all due respect, being a lesbian, being a Latina, and being a woman are not in themselves her accomplishments. What makes it an accomplishment, especially for someone who began her career in the 1970's, is overcoming the obstacles those factors have been in an often bigoted and prejudice society.
