Paulina Ryan

Paulina Ryan (October 5, 1958 - September 11, 1999) was an American politician who served as the United States Senator from Florida from 1997 until her death in office in 1999. Ryan was an open Lesbian, and was in a relationship with Fmr. Sen Ellen the Generit of Indiana at the time of her death. Despite being a sitting senator at the time of her death, Ryan was not granted the honor of lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda. This was because Congress and Fmr. President Boxy did not grant approval. In Late 2000, Paulina was posthumously rewarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Fmr. President 2Hats. Her aunt, Pauline Ryan decided to follow in her footsteps and run for public office. Pauline Ryan later won the election to become a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Florida's 1st district in 2000 and was sworn in on January 3, 2001.
