For LGBTQ+ activists, the home stretch of the midterm election campaign is a good-news-bad-news phenomenon.
A record number of LGBTQ+ candidates are running for office and some breakthrough victories are likely. In Massachusetts, Democrat Maura Healey is favored to become the first openly gay candidate elected as the state’s governor. Another lesbian, Democrat Becca Balint is favored to win Vermont’s lone U.S. House seat, becoming the first woman and first openly gay person to represent the state in Congress.
Yet these potential milestones and the large cohort of LGBTQ+ candidates coincide with aggressive efforts by some Republican politicians to target LGBTQ+ people, especially transgender Americans, with a wave of hostile rhetoric and legislation.
