So rare to be pleased about political developments in my home state of Georgia. Politics is so weird here. I loathed MTG and then at the end, I didn't want her to resign. Not a fan of Kemp or Raffensperger, but was proud they stood up to the oompaloompa, and now we're going full tard on paper ballots. It's hard to like it here, but at least we have DragonCon.
Georgia's 14th is heavily gerrymandered as well as the most Republican leaning district in the state according to the Cook Partisan Voting Index. It was never going to go blue in this special election.
However, the Democratic candidate lost by less than 12 points, which is a HUGE over-performance versus the same candidate's loss to MTG in 2024 by just under 30 points. The district went for Trump by 37 points. It's not the result I wanted, but it IS progress.
So fucking bizarre. As a cis straight dude, I'm only into vagina-having women, that's just my preference, but why should i care AT ALL what other people are doing? Republicans are fucken wild morons. If i meet a woman who I find attractive and it turns out she has a penis, that's too bad, I'm not into it, and i think that's fine. She's definitely gonna find someone. I'll be the one going home alone, probably, with my very particular tastes, but I'm ok with that?
They don't. It's all dog whistles and distractions and giving their mindless sound byte fed voting base a target. If it wasn't lgbtq+ it would be something else. Native Americans or immigrants or people with green eyes.
I'm very straight and am not into dicks at all, but hey... beautiful women get me all in a tizzy. It's possible i could agree with you for the right person, but mostly i don't think so. I hear where you're cumming from, though, and encourage all people to pursue what works for them.

Neat!

This is good! It's a really good sign that Georgia is able to do this. Even better would be defeating all 0 anti-lgbtq bills.
AntaNce
I believe it would be better if racist sexist assholes quit writing these bills. It's a waste of everything, & it's fucked up paranoia too.

You've got Georgia on your mind
Pfffftit

Nice work, Georgians.

PHENOMENAL WIN!
I really hope this is a trend that sticks and spreads nationwide.

We could subscribe to your X if we wanted to. We don’t, but we could.

I know a R-GA state rep with a lesbian daughter that votes this shit down all day. He’s not completely terrible.
sowhat4
They also voted to replace MTG with a rabid Trumper, so there's that.

Georgia?! Really? Goddamn. Y'all have given me some glimmer of hope.

130 Republican to 100 Democrat seats, 16 unknown. Amazing, who would have thought.

I keep getting Georgia mixed with the Asia Minor Country

I was a little skeptical given how heavily Republican GA is, and glad to see that the statement is true. However, photo is from "Annual Nyc Dyke March"?? Seems odd and unnecessary.

Georgia has also filled MTG's seat with a trumper. Long road ahead.

But...whyyyyyyy
Ac1dBurn72
Why TF do they need ANY anti-LGBTQ+ bills, let alone 15.
I swear, every Republican politician has a kink for trans women and is ashamed of it.
Considering some stories one of my trans girlfriends has, it's probably not that far off. All the very vocal Christian men seem to LOVE lady cock.
Bundalicious
This is why they started the rumor about Michelle Obama being a man. They ALL secretly fantasize about being entered from behind by "Big Mike"
SocoFox
Every hyper-Christian dude I've known eventually stopped being hyper-christian and just came out instead.
Selfinflictedwounds
They have a kink for trans and gay men and they and/or their family cant accept it. Basically..
"If I force is to go away I will stop thinking about the sexy fun stuff I want to do, no one will suspect me and God will love me more!"
If it is something you both like, who cares if you love lady cock.
SavageDrums
Because they NEED an "other" to keep their idiot supporters angry and stupid.

I have a kink for women and if I like her and she says yes whatever she has going on is going in my mouth.
