Oregon has more LGBTQ+ people per capita than any other state, according to a report from The Williams Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles and shared by the Advocate.

You don’t have to look far to find representation in Oregon. After Governor Kate Brown became the first openly LGBTQ+ person elected as governor in the history of the United States in 2016, Governor Tina Kotek became one of the first two openly lesbian governors in 2022.

The article fails to mention that Oregonians voted 66% against gay marriage.

It certainly outlines the spread of a disease, now doesn’t it?

Brown lives with her husband, Dan Little and two stepchildren, Dylan and Jessie. She is the country’s first openly bisexual statewide office holder and first openly bisexual governor.

Social contagion.

Oregon used to be known for secluded beaches and trillions of board feet of douglass fir. Now it’s known for homeless encampments, drugs, filth, and the sexually confused.

People move to Portland because Berkeley is too conservative.

Sounds like Portland is a good candidate for some of that fire and brimstone that God used to destroy the city of Sodom.

Don’t forget the Indian casinos that replaced all the good lumbering and paper mill jobs. Another case of the useless things that prey on poor people replacing the good things that provided honest jobs.

They must be congregated in Portland, or as others call it, North San Francisco.

Just like San Fransicko.

Now it’s known for homeless encampments, drugs, filth, and the sexually confused.

And euthanasia, and being the least relifgious state in the nation.

My wife is drawn to the lack ragweed and the general weather. The perverts have to ruin all the nice spots. We are left with Wyoming and Oklahoma.

Even she said the bisexual thing was overstated. College “experimentation,” but it didn’t hurt her, politically. It may have helped. Any controversy was long over when she was elected Governor, an office she first attained through the resignation of John Kitzhaber.

[dfwgator]

It’s hip for women to say they are bisexual these days.

Eastern OR is still fine to the extent that you can ignore the state govt.

Now THAT is funny! Kudos.

I have heard the same about eastern WA.

[steve86]

Yes, here too. Spokane starting to have big city problems, though.
