    Good for her! I hope she kicks all those rich old white guys right in the dick. Repeatedly.

      Ew…

      Dick sweat on the shoes. (Maybe we could get her a t-ball bat. They have better balance for this sort of thing than baseball bats.)

        Yea, honestly - I’d believe that they haven’t elected a trans person yet but gay and lesbian folks have been widely culturally accepted… there are still bigots but they’re now in the fringe group.

          Don’t forget we are only 21 years since SCOTUS ruled against the state of Texas and overturned the anti-sodomy laws in the US. Those laws are still on the books and the current Attorney General has said that he will enforce them should Lawrence v TX be overturned.

          There are also a lot of gay conversion camps in the state using electrodes and other means of physical, emotional, and sometimes sexual abuse to pray the gay away.

    I’m going to go out on a limb and say she’s not the first, but the first openly. I’m pretty confident though. I’m not a gambler but I’d put money on it.

        Point is that you can be closeted (I don’t know what the word is, if there is one, of someone who is gay but so fully repressed that they fully participate in the straight life) and be elected. Married, kids, the whole thing. So the position is that it’s highly likely that a lgbtq person has been elected, just that they weren’t open about it or were “straight”.

          Again, that is literally in the headline. “The first out LGBTQ+…”

    Now if only more out of the closet atheists could get elected, too.

      “awesome, but I can’t forget to make unnecessary comments on her appearance though”

      Such progress.
