Picture: Richard HatherlyWA Labor senator Louise Pratt has opened up about life with her transgender partner, Aram Hosie, saying there is nothing unusual about their relationship - it's "just two people who happen to be in love".
"For us, it's not about getting caught up in questions of sexual orientation", she says in an exclusive interview in STM. "It's just about loving and supporting each other.
"We are just two people who happen to be in love."
When Senator Pratt, 40, first met Aram, 29, he was a woman named Renae and their relationship has had to survive his transition to male.
Senator Pratt, who is up for re-election next year, said yesterday her hardest political decision was voting to dump Kevin Rudd as prime minister in 2010 and replace him with Julia Gillard.
