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

Posted on 07/10/2016 9:47:24 AM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

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.”

Clinging to a Cloud!

If either of them had to face the truth, he would be as helpless as a kitten up a tree.

Newsflash!!! Both of these sick perverts make butt ugly women. They should each be wearing buttons that say, “Someone beat the hell out of me when I came out of a women’s restroom at Target!”

They’re not the first. There are a whole lot of so-called republicans in Congress who had their balls cut off long ago.

Anyone with some free time and a desire to explore the depths of psychiatric diseases should google "body integrity identity disorder".having recently stumbled upon knowledge of its existence I've done a little research and found that it was revealed in a documentary that the BBC did on it some years ago there was at least one surgeon who granted the wish of someone suffering from "BIID".

I'll leave it up to you all to discover what it is that sufferers might ask of a surgeon.

Okay, is it me; or, are those really "crazy" eyes?

Having worked in a big city ER for many years I've seen those eyes many,many times.Those,dear FRiend,are chlorpromazine eyes.

Hint;chlorpromazine is a powerful tranquilizer,often given urgently by injection to schizophrenics in an acute state.

2 Mentally Ill Men Make History With Congressional Primary Wins

Are you kidding me?

That is about as "historical" as "Dog Bites Man"!

Just look at the loonies we have in Congress now is proof enough that all sorts of mentally ill men (and women) have been elected to Congress. Then there are those who didn't have a clue as to what they were, like Barney Fwank.

Patriots, please bear in mind that these misguided, LGBT activist political candidates are presumably trying to get elected so that they can help to push bills that favor the politically correct, constitutionally unprotected LGBT movement.

But note that when the Founding States drafted the Constitution, they expressly prohibited both the federal and state governments from establishing protected / privileged classes which would be the effect of LGBT-favoring laws imo.

I’m happy to say I live in Doug Lamborn’s district, and I’ll be voting for him. He’s a good conservative.

“Misty Snow”? That sounds like the pseudonym for a porn actress.

Obama’s got the ‘next’ hot civil rights issue on the table...

...they have at least a 50-50 chance of being elected. I would opine that a more realistic figure would be 75-25 or 90-10.

But certainly not a 36-24-36 chance with those two!

Doubleplusgood, indeed.

I think it's safe to say the Party formerly called Democrat has changed it's name to "the Monster Raving Loonies."

Jennifer Bendery’s behind the curve - the next civil rights issue is ON THE TABLE...

Obama - to be fair to the cop killer - has requested the armed forces AND Government Agencies STOP their bigoted ways toward men who get off on smelling women's panties.

YES. The cop killer was reacting to HATE and prejudice toward his victim group. The killing’s weren't his fault. The killings were the fault of bigoted right wingers with NO PITY for the ‘other’...

The “First General” who sniffs women's under-ware will be appointed later this month by Obama. This breath taking move showcases Obama’s strong civil rights resolve... (Trump was heard muttering something like, ‘are these people nuts’... and was quickly surrounded by New York Times reporters - ready to paint him as a bigot...)

Paul Ryan and James Comey - in an effort to be accepted by the ‘cool kids on the left’ - have agreed to pass out stained women's under-wear to their co-workers. This major civil rights achievement will be celebrated by holding hands, calling for ‘healing’ and singing kumbaya.
