Hey there,
Some Republicans running for governor can really be the worst. From Mark Robinson calling LGBTQ+ people "filth" to Jay Ashcroft wanting to ban gender-affirming care, these candidates are going to the extreme and are targeting queer lives. Here's a round-down of these politicians and what they've said. 🚨
💍 The Republican Party and its voters are growing increasingly out of touch with the rest of the United States when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights, The Advocate's Ryan Adamczeski wrote. More than two in three Americans (69 percent) still believe that marriage equality should be legal, according to a new survey from Gallup, despite the slight dip down from the record high of 71 percent recorded in 2022 and 2023. The poll found that 83 percent of Democrats support legalized marriage equality, compared to 74 percent of Independents. Conversely, only 46 percent of Republicans support same-sex couples having the right to marry, down significantly from 55 percent in 2021 and 2022. 💍
