    Why plan? Run for office. If your stances and policies are good then you get the spot. Not once have I voted for someone based on their sexuality, gender, religion, race, etc. those things should not matter in a politician as long as they are not bringing those things into their policy making to bring down others i.e. Christian Republicans and basing shit on Bible class

    I was hoping it involved a comical plot involving some junior Senators going full Magic Mike in the middle of a Foreign Relations committee meeting. It all goes off the rails when thry can’t sneak the disco lighting in.

    More LGBTQ+ members of congress won’t give us a seat at the table. We don’t need representation in government, we need people to represent the working class, and that won’t come from anyone within a party that places capital before people.
