Controversy arose Monday in the Oregon state house when a lesbian lobbyist sat with her partner, state representative Tina Kotek, at her desk on the house floor last week during a lengthy debate about gay rights, reports the Associated Press.

Kotek and lobbyist Aimee Wilson sat together as the house passed bills granting LGBT couples the benefits of marriage. Additionally, the bills call for an outlawing discrimination based on sexual preference.

Once the bills were passed, Kotek kissed Wilson on the cheek.
