A super-woke Democrat running for Congress in Washington state has admitted she’s too scared to come out in support of LGBTQ+ rights because it might upset Muslims, even though they account for a tiny fraction of her district. Melissa Chaudhry, 34, who is running for a second time in Washington’s 9th congressional district after losing her 2024 bid, made the glaring admission in an interview with a local Seattle-based newspaper. Chaudhry, who took her Muslim Army veteran husband’s last name and wears an Islamic headscarf, or hijab, was asked why she had nothing on her campaign website about LGBTQ+ rights, despite insisting she supported their cause.
“Because a lot of Muslims do not feel that way, unfortunately,” Chaudhry said in her interview with the Stranger last month. Only 41% of American Muslims believe homosexuality should be accepted by society, compared to 57% of Christians and 82% of Jewish people, according to a 2025 report from the Pew Research Center. The Seattle metropolitan area, which makes up much of Chaudhry’s district, is only around 2% Muslim, according to the Pew Research Center’s “Religious Landscape Study.” In contrast, Seattle has one of the largest LGBT+ populations in the country, with approximately 17% of adults identifying as such, according to the latest US Census. Despite that, Chaudhry insisted she “was careful about her Muslim constituents” in her interview.

Chaudhry also insisted that she supports her sister, who is “in a homosexual relationship, happily and committedly so,” and is friends with a “disabled lesbian woman, her partner, and their autistic son,” in her response.

Why support either?
We SHOULDN’T.
She is a modern woman living in America in the 21st century. She, being a woman, is scared of everything. She admits it. She hs no business holding any kind of office, she disqualified herself with her own words.
Interesting because the Dems have always used and then discarded voting blocs according to their political needs.
Now how will the many gay voters feel about being cast aside as no longer useful by the Dems?
A lesson for Conservatives -- we could wield enormous political power ... if the government was afraid of us. It wouldn't take very much.
“Why support either?”
Here’s my understanding on that. The parties have foundational documents for candidates that detail what the party’s objectives are. As a candidate, you’re supposed to adhere to those objectives which nets you financial and technical support from the party. (Mailing lists and phone numbers, etc.) The Democrats are trying to knit together a diverse group under one party tent. That includes race baiting for blacks, support for Hispanic illegals for the Hispanic vote, support for the Alphabet people, kowtowing to Muslims, etc. I’m sure I’ve left a few out like pedophiles and other minor attracted people. The problem is that each group wants to be the one and only beneficiary of the rent seeking. As for considering the Alphabet people, it’s like having a whole bunch of sports fans each dedicated to their particular team and telling them that you’ll represent their team when elected as if it were just one team. In reality on the ground that’s one or more teams for each alphabet letter and many of them hate each other. (Think trans women and lesbians.)
Good, it should be hard as they cater to random radical constituents.

Another one who just couldn’t marry a white guy, could she? And her sister’s a lesbo. It’s unavoidable to notice how destructive these women are to our nation.
Fags will just call your names. The Muslims will kill you.
Crash on the intersectional chart
Muslims trump gays
This is a popcorn moment.
per the article “compared to 57% of Christians”. Nonsense. True Christians the number would be close to zero%.
I divorce you!
I divorce you!
I divorce you!
It’s so Sharia!
If dad & mom had a child, the child and woman would have to be supported until the child is weaned.
Allah didn’t see fit to give her wings, and she knows it.
It would require accepting Moa's principle that power comes from the barrel of a gun.
We would have all the power we need if elections were free of illegal votes.
I get that it’s good to know how insane our enemies are, but I don’t get why so many second-tier Democrat candidates receive writeups in the “right wing” media just because they say or do something outrageous.
It’s not like they have ANY real chance of even coming close to getting elected. They are complete nobodys who (a la Graham Platner) rely on getting sudden massive financial support from shady leftist sources in order to grow from zero to “hero”.
This idiotic woman ain’t getting that.
She got 32% of the vote in 2024 and probably won’t even make it to the November ballot in 2026. Her district is D+21 so no Republican will approach winning it either, and liberal Democrat Adam Smith will cruise to yet another easy victory.
She is a convert to Islam. Her fellow muslims would likely kill her if she supported the LBGQT-whatever communitity.
