Good for her! I hope she kicks all those rich old white guys right in the dick. Repeatedly.
- Ew…
  Dick sweat on the shoes. (Maybe we could get her a t-ball bat. They have better balance for this sort of thing than baseball bats.)
- Texas is now progressive
  
  Not yet. Not even close to it
  
  We can still kick rich old white dudes tho, right?
God damn, it's kind of amazing they've gone this long without any LGBTQ+ state senators.
- Is it really that surprising though?
  
  Yea, honestly - I'd believe that they haven't elected a trans person yet but gay and lesbian folks have been widely culturally accepted... there are still bigots but they're now in the fringe group.
- They have a bunch but they are all closeted ;)
I'm going to go out on a limb and say she's not the first, but the first openly. I'm pretty confident though. I'm not a gambler but I'd put money on it.
- That's literally in the headline
  
  Point is that you can be closeted (I don’t know what the word is, if there is one, of someone who is gay but so fully repressed that they fully participate in the straight life) and be elected. Married, kids, the whole thing. So the position is that it’s highly likely that a lgbtq person has been elected, just that they weren’t open about it or were “straight”.
In that shit state, her life is now in grave danger. Shits states gonna shit state. Hope she stays safe
Now if only more out of the closet atheists could get elected, too.
Let's go vote in November!
I thought molly cook was her job description
- I don’t know why the joke didn’t land, maybe people don’t realize that that is another phrase for mdma producer?
  Either way, I thought it was.
- So edgy, wow.
Awesome. Whacky clown lipstick though.
- "awesome, but I can't forget to make unnecessary comments on her appearance though"
  Such progress.
  
  It’s rather striking. I find many human adornments quite odd.
