From Huffington Post:

Salon.com’s Natasha Lennard has unearthed footage of Helen LaFave, Michele Bachmann’s openly gay stepsister, being interviewed following President Barack Obama’s January 2009 Inauguration.

LaFave is featured in the clip with Nia Wronski, whom The Daily Beast reports is her partner of 15 years.

Julie Philips, the videographer, asks LaFave what it means to her to be at the inauguration.

“It’s very important to me to be here just because it’s starting something new,” LeFave says in the video. “Just the movement throughout the country it seems like a reawakening of the country, and to be part of that and to see the first African American president take office is very meaningful.”
