2 Transgender Women Make History With Congressional Primary Wins
The Huffington Post ^ | June 29, 2016 | Jennifer Bendery

WASHINGTON — Transgender women won two congressional primary races Tuesday night — and made history as the first trans people to become major candidates for the U.S. House or Senate.

Utah voters chose Misty Snow (D) to run against Sen. Mike Lee (R) in November. In Colorado, voters backed Misty Plowright (D) to take on Rep. Doug Lamborn (R).

It’s a long shot for either to get elected. Utah is a solidly Republican state, and Lamborn’s district in Colorado is extremely conservative. Still, it’s a positive sign that transgender candidates aren’t just out there, they can also succeed.

“In what is already shaping up to be one of the most consequential elections for LGBT equality in more than a generation, yesterday’s primary wins by two transgender women candidates continues to add to the historic nature of November’s election,” said Malcolm Lazin, executive director of the Equality Forum, an LGBT rights group. “In many different ways, such as by running for office as an openly LGBT candidate or serving our country in uniform, LGBT people continue to show that we are as much a part of the fabric of America as anybody else.”

So what they mean is that two cross dressers with d!cks won their primaries. I’m guessing all reverent Democrats are ecstatic. (If there are really even any).

Just goes to show that men can do anything better than a woman.

Including being a woman, apparently.

Ducking the pots and pans!

Liberals demand we accept men who “identify” as women, but they refuse to accept terrorists who “identify” as Mooslim.

Even the guys from Monty Python would have said, “wait, that’s a little too over the top!”
