| Description | Democratic Assemblywoman Cathleen Galgiani has publicly come out as a lesbian.
In an interview, the 47-year-old Livingston Democrat told the Stockton Record that it was not until after her 2006 election to the Assembly that she knew she was gay.
Galgiani told the newspaper that she hoped talking about her life would provide support for youth dealing with issues related to their own sexual identity.
"It sickens me that young people would think about taking their lives because of who they are," Galgiani said in the interview.
Galgiani's spokesman confirmed the report, saying the statement came during an interview on high-speed rail and other issues. |
