Christine O'Donnell's lesbian sister

From A tale of two sisters:
Tea party/Christian right Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell has long decried homosexuality; her sister Jennie supports gay rights and says she lives with a girlfriend.
...
[O'Donnell] has a sister named Jennie who lives in Los Angeles. And Jennie's Facebook and LinkedIn pages depict a person who appears to be quite different than Christine—in essence, the polar opposite. Yet the two have recently appeared on the campaign trail together, with Jennie obviously supporting her sister's Senate bid.

On her Facebook page, Jennie notes that she "live [sic] in west hollywood ca with my girlfriend and my dogs. just try to keep it simple and live!" She notes she is self-employed as a "spiritual psychologist, actor, meditation teacher." She describes her political stance as "conservative liberal." As for religious views, she says she is "into spirituality, not one religion, study all religions, take what i like, leave the rest."
...
On LinkedIn, Jennie O'Donnell notes:
I have studied and practiced many therapeutic methods, as well as many different spiritual practices, such as; The Eastern Philosophies of Buddhism, Taoism, Sidha yoga with Brahma khumaris and other yoga practices for self realization. Western philosophies of Christianity, Science of mind, Course in miracles, Catholicism, Native American Spiritualities, Judaism, Muslim, Sufi, Ancient Alchemy of the Emerald Tablet, Metaphysics, Wicca, Pagan and many other world spiritualities.
On Wednesday, Jennie posted this message on Facebook:

Interesting. Of course Jennie lives in West Hollywood but she doesn't sound any more woo-woo than her neighbors.
