RACHEL MADDOW AND SUSAN MIKULA – 20 YEARS

Rachel Maddow is an openly gay woman who has been the icon of the LGBTQ community. Rachel is known as a news program host on the TV station MSNBC and she is also a political commentator. Maddow met her life partner Susan Mikula in 1999 when Maddow was working on her doctoral dissertation. It was an unforgettable and comical first encounter for them as Mikula hired Maddow to do her yard work!

They became so in love to a degree that they immediately got married in the same year. Mikula is an artist and photographer who has published a collection of landscape photography and exhibited in exhibitions in New York, Miami, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Unlike her partner, Mikula is addicted to girlish accessories such as wallets, and Maddow claims to “look like a playboy.” They have been together for two decades now and they continue to be an inspiration to the LGBTQ community.
