The #RainbowWave crashed ashore last night, making a HUGE shifts for the queer community. Let's list it off:
1) Massachusetts secured the first-ever statewide victory for transgender protections! Want to know more? Listen to our episode about it: wnyc.news/zgs7q
2) Notorious Rowan County Clerk, Kim Davis, who denied David Ermold a marriage license, was voted out! Listen to our coverage of the primaries of this election: wnyc.news/uzl4l
3) @sharicedavids became the first Native American and the first openly queer person to represent Kansas in Congress. Check out our co-produced episode of #USofAnxiety about the first woman elected to Congress (hint: she was also queer): wnyc.news/quhfg
4) Kansas also elected @mattmfm to Congress. You read that right. Kansas now has TWO openly queer members of Congress!! #RainbowWave
5) Colorado now has their very first openly gay governor (@jaredpolis). (We wonder how the baker who refused that gay couple a wedding cake is feeling right now...) #RainbowWave
6) @chrispappasnh has become New Hampshire first openly gay member of Congress. #RainbowWave
7) New Hampshire also elected two openly trans members of Congress, Gerri Cannon and Lisa Bunke! #RainbowWave
8) @AngieCraigMN won her election (against a very anti-LGBTQ+ candidate!) and has become the first openly gay member of Congress from Minnesota. #RainbowWave
9) @malcolmkenyatta became the first openly gay person of color elected to the Pennsylvania legislature. #RainbowWave
10) Key West has a new openly lesbian mayor (@terigjohnston). She's also the first openly queer mayor in FL! #RainbowWave
11) @katebrownforor (OR-D) and @tammybaldwin (WI-D) were both re-elected! #RainbowWave
12) Remember @ZachWahls, that sweet Eagle Scout that went viral in a video defending his two moms in front of the Iowa House of Representatives? Yeah. He's just won a seat in the Iowa State Senate. #RainbowWave
