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.)
Texas is now progressive
Not yet. Not even close to it
We can still kick rich old white dudes tho, right?
God damn, it's kind of amazing they've gone this long without any LGBTQ+ state senators.
Is it really that surprising though?
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.
They have a bunch but they are all closeted ;)
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.
That's literally in the headline
In that shit state, her life is now in grave danger. Shits states gonna shit state. Hope she stays safe
Now if only more out of the closet atheists could get elected, too.
Let's go vote in November!
I thought molly cook was her job description
I don’t know why the joke didn’t land, maybe people don’t realize that that is another phrase for mdma producer?
Either way, I thought it was.
So edgy, wow.
