17 öppna hbtq-personer som vann USA:s mellanårsval

Över 400 öppna hbtq-personer som kandiderat i USA:s mellanårsval har utropats som vinnare. Det är den största regnbågsvinsten i mellanårsvalens historia. Det förra rekordet sattes 2020 då 334 öppna kandidater vann. Regnbågsvågen gör sig tydlig på allt från politiskt tunga positioner som guvernörer och hela vägen ”ner” till viktiga lokala poster som lagstiftare.

Annons

Här är 17 av regnbågsvinnarna värda att uppmärksamma!

Alaskas första öppna lagstiftare

Jay and I got married on this day in 2015 thanks to #SCOTUS #obergefellvhodges. Due to a 1998 amendment to AK constitution, if Obergefell falls, our marriage will be erased. The concern is not an academic one. Clarence Thomas wants Obergefell re-examined. Vote. #AKelect #AKleg pic.twitter.com/HSGEcSXI2H
