NH's first openly transgender lawmaker won't take office
Union Leader ^ | November 28, 2012 | Simon Rios

Posted on 11/28/2012 6:47:35 AM PST by Past Your Eyes

NASHUA — Following a storm of controversy in light of her criminal background, the first openly transgendered person elected to the New Hampshire House will resign her post. “I didn't want to have to do this,” Rep.-elect Stacie Marie Laughton, D-Nashua, said. “There's been a lot of people that have said, 'Stay strong, keep your head up, stay in it.'” “I'm super disappointed because I was looking forward to this more than anything. It's my lifelong dream to serve my community, and what better place to do it than the city that I was born and raised in.”

This proves that the stupid voters in New Hampshire went into the voting booth and voted strictly Democrat not knowing who or what they were voting for. I’m ashamed to live here.

That’s what the Democrats in New Hampshire want for their “leadership”.

NH conservatives should leave....

I agree and would if I could.

It was only a matter of time this holdout in New England would capitulate.

I’m still astounded the Ray Buckley you tube vids I’ve cropped into this thread have as few views and discussion on this pig in local organs was and remains near nil.

I’ve got many relations raised in Concord and thereabouts
and nearly all have gone moonbat and the others are RINOs.

The place is sadly gone, full of psuedo-intellectual snots.

Many have come from mid-Atlantic states.

Lesbians have been pouring in.

The hard libertarians haven’t helped one bit.

Article10 speaks the truth - the Union Leader updated their website at about 3pm with the headline, “NH’s first openly transgender lawmaker reconsiders, will now serve”. Frankly, I don’t care if Stacie Laughton is male, female, gay, straight, transgender, white, black, purple. What concerns me is that Stacie Laughton is a CONVICTED FELON.

I have to give props to the Nashua Telegraph, though, whose headline now reads “Felon lawmaker Laughton reconsidering whether to submit letter of resignation to secretary of state”. No BS strawman about being transgender. FELON.

Thank goodness I don’t live in Nashua. Seriously. I think we should redraw the borders and give them to Massachusetts.

I talked to my (former) seatmate in the House this afternoon. (He was beaten for reelection.) He has privately urged “her” not to resign. He thinks “she” should take “her” seat and having “her” there would actually help the Republicans.
No, thank you too much, I disagree. I don’t want to be anywhere near the disgusting creature. There’s more to life than just gaining some political advantage.

"The hard libertarians haven’t helped one bit."

Let me give a big ROGER THAT to that idea. That's a big part of why we lost the gay marriage vote.

Yep. Both sides of my Family are from the Concord/Boscwen area...

The Granite State is lost, You can do it, it just takes will. Sad too see how quickly it has denegrated. My business still takes me to NH, but that is changing soon enough, will be moving the last bits to Wyoming in ‘13. NH will just be a small tax bill and a reminder of what was in America to me. I had relatives that were Tories and they moved back in 1802 so I guess I could do the same some day.

Hang in there mate, was swinging on your chain earlier. Thanks for the effort in Concord, I wish there were more of you all in the State House.

Seriously, though, give moving out of NH some consideration. Wyoming is pretty cool and New Zealand outside the cities is just plain normal as could be.. No since in casting your pearls amoungst the swine...

Except in my dreams, I won’t be going anywhere. Family came here from England in the 1630s, some on both sides, and this is it; this is home. I’m probably related to most of the natives in the state, at least those with English/Irish/Scottish names!
Not only that, I have cancer so who knows how much longer I’ll be around anyway. We’ll give it the old college try for this session and that will very likely be it for me.

Good luck with the cancer... and thanks again for the work in Concord, my wife used to engage and testify for the Homeschool crowd, Emma Rouse was such a tool...

You and I are prolly related.... Family on my moms side came thorough Boston in 1645 to Boscwen & East Concord and has not left, some did depart in 1784, Torries, went to Canada and returned in 1802... Hah! it is a small world...
