Transgender New Hampshire state Rep. Alice Wade (D) today accused Democratic Socialist U.S. House candidate Heath Howard of pressuring her to drop out of her race because he believed her trans identity would spoil her chances. He initially denied all wrongdoing, but later admitted to making comments about her gender.

    This baby boy is 26, meaning he was 25 when these comments were made. Anyone acting like this problem will go away when the elderly bigots begin to die off is a fool. Further, as he is a Democratic Socialist, it’s just one more for the pile of evidence that the LGBTQ+ community could never and still can’t count on “the left” for support and representation.

      I was talking about this earlier in a different comm, but we have severely regressed on these issues over the last 10 years and the left has not been immune to it.
