State Rep. Laurie Jinkins Is More Lesbian Than _________ ?

by Eli Sanders • Apr 11, 2011 at 9:58 am

But what am I more lesbian than?

Shortly after we broke the news that State Rep. Jamie Pedersen (D-Seattle) is gayer than a Care Bear dipped in sprinkles, I received official word that State Rep. Laurie Jinkins (D-Tacoma), the first out lesbian ever to serve in the state legislature, is wondering why she didn't get a "more lesbian than" honorific in the same article.

Good point! (And sorry!)

And so, to the urgent question: What is Jinkins more lesbian than?

Help me out in the comments, Sloggers, and I promise to use the best "more lesbian than" honorific the next time I refer to Jinkins in print.
