From the American Family Association:
At least 678 gender or sexually confused candidates ran in the 2022 midterms … and some 430 of them won. Both of those are records, according to the gay-activist group Victory Fund. They included the first lesbian governor of a state, the first homosexual elected from Vermont, and the first trans person elected to a state house.
Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality says more can be expected in 2024 and beyond. The problem, he argues, is “the LGBTQ lobby has cemented itself within the Democratic Party.”
Labarbera says gay activists are more disciplined and persistent than their moral counterparts in the GOP. “They’re just so much better at getting their very hard-core activists in these legislatures than we are,” he laments.
At least 519 out LGBTQ candidates won elected office in California this year, in positions ranging from school board up to Congress and governor, said LGBTQ Victory Fund press secretary Albert Fujii. https://t.co/0TifQKnxaC
