The Resume

    (June 2, 1966- )
    Half-sister of Newt Gingrich
    Spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign's Coming Out Project (1995)
    Wrote the autobiography 'Accidental Activist: A Personal and Political Memoir' (1997)

Why she might be annoying:

    She looks more masculine than Newt.
    She is a vegetarian.
    Her mother learned her sexual orientation by accidentally discovering a lesbian publication she subscribed to.
    She was unaware of Newt's views on homosexuality until after he was elected Speaker of the House.
    She made a guest appearance in Friends as the minister marrying Ross' ex-wife and her partner.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was named one of Esquire's 'Women We Love' and Ms. magazine's 'Women of the Year' (1995).
    She spearheaded youth voter registration drives.
    She calls herself 'a blue collar rugby dyke.'
    After Newt said that if she married her partner he would not attend because he did not want to condone same-sex marriage, she noted that she had attended Newt's second and third marriages not to show her support for heterosexual marriage but to support a member of her family, adding 'It's sad that it doesn't carry over.'
