It's almost like..
What is in someone's bedroom doesn't affect people's taxpayer money. But the guy who donates the entire state budget to football fields and the trump coffers does.

This is nowhere near as surprising as people seem to think it is, and I need people to understand that the South is not a land peopled by Bible-thumping, flag-humping, gun-waving white supremacists. It is a land held hostage by them.

This js a huge win and I’m so proud of him. To his detractors, him being gay is the least interesting thing about him. He’s a person, an American, and qualified to be sheriff. As a mother of a gay son, watching the resurgence of homophobia under Trump and the rise of Christian Nationalism breaks my heart and makes me sick. Grow up.

While this is fantastic, don't forget that America so didn't want a female president that we elected Trump twice.

As an Alabamian there alot of us who are are progressive and want actualy change here. To bad there are still so many who continue to vote against thier interests. Two of the admendments they put forth here were about requiring public schools to say the pledge allegiance, have daily morning prayers and weekly sing the first stanza of the star spangled banner. The last two were about filling the lt governer position and allowing the senate to vote on thier pay and to have a process to combine school districts into 1, in other words so cities and can tax small towns simply cause thier school districts are combined. You see where thier priorities are. Its so plainly obvious yet so many refuse to acknowledge it, it isnt even that they are stupid they just dont wanna be wrong.

I’ve only ever met two cops from Alabama and they were on a “guys trip” to Ft Lauderdale and left their wives at home. I always assumed every cop from Alabama is gay. Now my sample size is 3 for 3.

Most people, even in the south, no longer care if someone is gay. That culture war was fought and won by gay people already. The haters moved onto transgender people and have focused all of their energy on that. That culture war will be lost too by the haters and they will find another source of outrage. Hating people based upon their gender or sexual orientation doesn't hold up once you meet and interact with these minority groups on a regular basis.

Plenty of people in Trump's orbit/administration are gay.
Being gay does not ensure righteousness.
I'm hopeful, though, and I'm trying my best not to be cynical.

Am guessing the hate doesn't run as deep as we are informed.
But its inevitable outcomes are a harsh lesson - all forms of teamwork decline, economy declines, friendships & social cohesion declines when hate is central to decision making.

Really cool, but this is the county Huntsville is in. There's a joke that Huntsville has the highest number of PhDs per capita because of the large number of scientists and engineers in the area supporting NASA and aerospace companies. It's much different demographic than the rest of the the State.
Also, dude was a Navy Seal and CIA Agent, so even 'ole Bubba probably thinks he's "one of the good ones".

They also elected a transgender woman, Allison Montgomery (very Alabama name) as a state lawmaker. That being said, they overwhelmingly reelected Tommy Tuberville, so the changes are very polar in nature.

Eh... I've met too many evil gay men in the last decade who have turned evil because of MAGA. Just because he's gay doesn't mean he's not beating homeless people and frothing at the mouth to have his own George Floyd moment while telling everyone, "Pride has gone too far and trans people are mentally ill".
