In a historic first, a transsexual woman and an openly gay man took seats in Poland's newly elected parliament on Tuesday.
Anna Grodzka -- born a man and living his life as a woman -- took her seat in Poland's parliament Tuesday after she was elected on October 9.
Grodzka, 57, who underwent a sex change last year, was warmly-received by her parliament peers, who applauded as she made her way through the Warsaw assembly hall; one male lawmaker even kissed her on the cheek.
