GO! Presents 100 Women We Love: Class of 2024

THE CULTURAL ROADMAP FOR CITY GIRLS EVERYWHERE

100 Women We Love 2012

June 15, 2012

Drum roll, please! We’re excited to present this year’s 100 Women We Love—our most diverse group of out entertainers, artists, athletes, activists, business principals and elected officials yet. Each of these women is a superstar in her own right. Their achievements and contributions shape our lives —and elevate us in the eyes of the world . They’re working to raise LGBT awareness, increase our visibility and quicken our progress toward a just society. We are extremely proud to present the class of 2012. There are no rankings or numbers. They are all leaders.

Tammy Baldwin
All eyes will be on Wisconsin this fall, a battleground state that could swing red in November—and where voters could elect Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D) as the first openly gay U.S. Senator in history. Since her election to the House of Representatives in 1999, the Madison native has been one of the staunchest progressive lawmakers in Congress, supporting legislation for women’s equality, affordable healthcare, Social Security and Medicare, and clean energy technology. She is now running for the seat vacated by retiring Sen. Herb Kohl (D), who won election in 1988. Baldwin’s likely Republican opponent is Tommy Thompson, the former Wisconsin governor and Health and Human Services Secretary under George W. Bush. Not surprisingly, there is a glaring contrast between the two candidates’ records on political issues, such as healthcare and reproductive rights: Thompson agreed that it would be “a good day for America” if Roe v. Wade were repealed, while Baldwin scores 100% by NARAL on her pro-choice voting record. Although this race will be an uphill battle for Baldwin, a broad-minded grassroots campaign and key endorsements could put her over the top.
