From Lisa Keen at the Windy City Times:
Colonel Ginger Wallace, an openly lesbian intelligence officer in the U.S. Air Force, will be one of two openly gay people in the First Lady's gallery seats tonight, when President Obama delivers his State of the Union address for 2012.
The second openly gay guest is Lorelei Kilker, an environmental chemist who was part of the government's class action suit to secure equal wages for women.
