Lucie Pépin retires from the Senate

I have a new story up on the national page of Xtra.ca, which is an "exit interview" with retiring Liberal Senator Lucie Pépin. When I first heard that Senator Pépin was retiring, I read a brief biography of some of her accomplishments over her career and was fascinated, and felt that she was someone that Xtra readers should know a bit about, considering how much of her activism has touched the queer community one way or another. Fortunately, she was more than willing to talk, despite her office in the middle of being boxed up (we got the photo before they came in later in the day to take back the artwork), and it was a great conversation that I'm glad I was able to have, and share with my readers.
