This weekend the Colorado GOP held an airing of grievances over Zoom. Members raised concerns about upcoming meetings, party finances, and the email attacking the trans Dem candidate in SD6.

The last year has seen a concerted effort to demonize LGBTQ people as “groomers” or worse. CSPD has not released a motive for last night’s shooting, but for queer people it seems like a natural consequence of the political environment.

Politicians have used trans people, in particular, as a kind of political football, a wedge issue to generate steam for their “red wave,” to advocate for pushing us out of public life and denying us health care.

Oh man, it’s almost as if right-wing figures have been explicitly calling for political violence for years now, but for some reason calls for community defense to meet this violence are unreasonable and bad. 🤔

Rep. Scott Bottoms (R-Co Springs) deadnamed me during a committee hearing recently. This is the kind of thing LGBTQ journalists deal with when we do our jobs:
Friday night, a delegate with the WV Legislature repeatedly used homophobic slurs at me over the phone.
Today, when we spoke he said he'd been drinking, didn't remember the conversation, and was deeply sorry. But like I told him, I feel a sense of duty to share what happened. 🧵
