Transgender Democratic candidate for Maine's U.S. senate seat causes an online frenzy when he openly displays childlike thinking at a debate forum for democratic candidates seeking to replace the recently disgraced Graham Platner. Speaking in an apparently male voice while sporting long flat hair and wearing a large, plus-sized dress with a floral print, Ashley Webb clearly stood out from the other candidates on stage in more ways than one. Setting aside the realities of the difficult issues that true transsexuals experience, if you tell disturbed or mentally immature people that all they have to do is "identify as" something to be it, might it be that Mr. Webb thought that all he needed to be qualified was to identify as qualified?

Mexico's first openly gay mayor, (Fresnillo, 2013 to 2015), was shot in the head in the city of Guadalajara, while getting ice cream, in an apparent hit job.

The former mayor was also reportedly under investigation for alleged fraud, though his family members believe the accusations were a political hit job.

Progressive-liberal reporter concedes NOT ALL G**S are "UNDER ATTACK" with story on the election of the FIRST openly gay member of the State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) at the 2026 state convention of the Republican Party of Texas. Justin P. Nichols, is a prominent San Antonio lawyer with a wide diversity of clients, including many gay business owners, and is also VP of the San Antonio chapter of the Texas Conservative Liberty Forum (TCLF SA). TCLF SA, under Nichols representation, was recently involved in a lawsuit against the city of San Antonio over its plan to use $170k of taxpayer money, without a proper vote, to install rainbow sidewalks.

Nichols was initially appointed to fill a vacancy for Senate District 26. Last Friday, June 12, he was elected in his own right, despite a campaign of vitriol directed at him because of his and his clientele's sexuality. Unfortunately for the anti-gay campaign claiming to stand up for "Christian values" one of the two leaders of the campaign was a former all-nude dancer and convicted felon. Full report by Andrea Drusch at the San Antonio Report in comments. Note: Although the report describes Nichols as "LGBTQ+", he is reportedly not le***an, bisexual, trans, q***r, or anything under the plus sign category.

Justin Nichols, whose legal practice has long represented the LGBTQ+ community, challenged the GOP convention to redefine "family values."

The Advocate reports that what they call "LGBT"-friendly policies are declining in conservative states while getting 'better' in liberal states. They quote from a "Business Climate" index suggesting woke "pro-LGBT" is good business. Not so fast. Taking the 'worst' and 'best' from their own report, we compared their economies over the last 4 years. We found that between the two groups of states, the Woke ‘pro-LGBT’ vs the conservative not woke states, the conservative states outperformed the so-called "pro-LGBT” on a wide range of categories. The contrast could not be sharper. See our comparison below.

2021-2025 Top Woke “LGBT” States vs Most Conservative non-Woke States

Group 1 -Conservative/Non-Woke
Arkansas
Tennessee
Idaho
South Carolina
Florida

Population growth: Very strong
Domestic migration: Large net inflows
Housing construction: Generally higher
Employment growth: Faster
Real GDP growth: Generally above U.S. average
Cost of Living: Lower (index 95-96% to 100 for US average)

Group 2 - Liberal/Woke "Pro-LGBT"
Massachusetts
New York
Connecticut
New Jersey
Illinois

Population growth: Weak to modest
Domestic migration: Often flat or negative
Housing construction: Generally lower
Employment growth: Slower
Real GDP growth: Generally near or below U.S. average
Cost of Living: Lower (index 120% to 100 for US average)

Average wages were higher in the Woke states, but of course, this was offset by the much higher cost of living in those states.

: "Homosexuality has no place in America" - Republican Tennessee US. House Rep Andy Ogles

Ted Cruz response, excerpt from story in comments:
***
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a staunch conservative who opposes same-sex marriage, told TMZ that for “all of recorded history, homosexuals have been part of humanity.”

“You know, I’ve got to say I’m libertarian by nature,” Cruz said. “I think the behavior of consenting adults is their business.”

The story also quotes George Santos. It's unclear why anybody cares what he has to say about right and wrong.
