Every time I see “first” before a winning candidate tonight I get chills! Our children are watching and they are seeing that people who look like them, worship like them, and love like them can win!
Sharice Davids just defeated a Republican incumbent and just flipped another red seat blue. She is an openly gay Native American in the middle of Kansas. This is HUGE.https://twitter.com/sharicedavids/status/1059989188492304384 …

Crazy this is a first. So sad. I know it is cause for celebration, but it’s also a huge wake up call.

So glad you shared her sexual preference and heritage... because that’s what really matters when people vote. Wtf

It does mean something. It means acceptance that we are all human beings no matter who we love!!

there was a time when her identity would’ve meant she had little chance of winning an election, no matter her political stance. her identity is mentioned because it shows that as a society we’ve become more accepting

Her identity is mentioned to make it easier for us to be divided. Though, I most certainly agree that there was a time in America when people were close minded idiots when it came to identity. 21st century, though. Generally speaking it’s a lot different now

Sadly it’s really not. Pence and his conversion therapy?

Ok, granted, there are some people out there that are so disconnected from reality that they can’t be saved. But I think the crazies get cleaned out of the system over time

We can only hope. It’s filled to capacity

Not in the middle. That's right outside of Kansas City. Politically and culturally, it's closer to Eastern Virginia than Central Kansas...still...HUGE.
