Sharon Lubinski was set to be sworn in as U.S. Marshal Friday morning in Minneapolis.
The Minneapolis assistant police chief was recommended by U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar last year, then nominated by President Obama and confirmed by the Senate.
Lubinski is widely regarded as the first lesbian to hold the position. She will serve in the District of Minnesota.
U.S. marshals oversee federal courthouse security, witness protection, the apprehension of federal fugitives and the transport of federal prisoners.

Excellent! I’m going to wait on the far right religionists to condemn her for her sexual orientation and forget that she is qualified for the job.

To be accurate, that headline should read “…first _openly_ gay US Marshall”.

MN is the laughingstock of the country for your gender and race politics. This one just amplifies that ridicule while your citizens are less safe.
