He quoted Hitler. He called LGBT people ‘filth’. And now he could become North Carolina’s next governor-- Independent
John, it's terrifying but true. A man who once claimed "God formed me" to fight against LGBTQ+ rights, who claimed that churches that fly a rainbow flag is a "direct spit in the face of God almighty", who believes trans people should be arrested for using the bathroom of their choosing, is close to becoming the next governor of North Carolina.
Mark Robinson and his toxic beliefs sink to new lows - but right now, he's at the top of the ticket. Look, this man’s rant is the best case we can make for electing LGBTQ+ voices at all levels of government. We NEED to elect LGBTQ+ people in North Carolina and beyond to drown out these bigots and block their toxic legislation. Chip in to stand against Mark Robinson and elect LGBTQ+ leaders!
Hateful rhetoric like this can't go unchallenged. If he can get away with it, other bigots will be emboldened. It's only a matter of time before extremists candidates start demonizing trans lives on the campaign trail - and before they start using anti-LGBTQ dog whistles against our candidates.
We know these attacks are ramping up, and we have to be ready to respond. With this much hate on the ballot, we can't afford to back down. Pitch in today to drown out Mark Robinson and elect LGBTQ+ leaders who will stand against him!
Thank you for pitching in,
