Today, the first openly LGBT person was sworn into the United States Senate and the first openly LGBT person of color and the first openly bisexual person were sworn into the United States House of Representatives. The House Democratic Caucus is, for the first time, NOT a majority of white, straight men. The U.S. Senate includes 20 women.

And I do rrecall not a single woman being appointed to chair a committee (they quickly attempted to correct that with one appointment.....). What happened to "The Year of the Woman"?
