I live in Alabama but have never heard of her before now. That means that either I have not been paying close enough attention to local news or that she hasn't really been generating any. If she had done anything anti-LGBT I probably would have heard it.

So how many other surgeon generals have you heard of before they became surgeon general?

I have a better question-
How many Surgeon Generals have you heard of after they became Surgeon General?

I have heard of C. Everett Koop after he was SG. As a matter of fact, I saw him in some TV Public Service announcement not too many years ago. Can't remember what it was, but I do remember he was in it. Ain't too many people named "C. Everett Koop" out there!:-)
When I said I hadn't heard of her that was a good thing since she's from Alabama, though on the other end of the state. If she had done something anti-gay or negative in general it would have made the news.
