Is this an encyclopedia article or a blog post praising the congresswoman for being a gay-friendly Scientologist? I think this is in need of some sort of rewrite. --Caponer 07:03, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I'll second that. Magicwombat 19:01, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I'll third it. I'm skeptical that she's a darling of the LGBT community - I'd like to see some proof, please.

Is it even confirmed she's a Scientologist? I've heard of people who go to Scientology events, but aren't Scientologists. For example one site says on "August 7, 2004, she presented a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol in recognition of the Scientology Celebrity Centre’s 35th anniversary of "humanitarian and voluntary contributions", together with Rep. Brad Sherman." Sherman is not listed as a Scientologist.--T. Anthony 14:12, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lehtinen? Where does that name come from?

Is it because she is married to a man of Finnish heritage (the name sound finnish), or because one of her parents are of finnish origin? --Konstantin 12:57, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I am also wondering about it? Cus the name Lehtinen is as Finnish as it can be. Dr.Poison 16:15, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

From her website: "In the Florida Legislature she met and married Florida Representative Dexter Lehtinen, who later went on to become the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida."
