Drenda Keesee and his toxic beliefs

GOP candidate compares LGBTQ+ activists to Hitler & says demons are turning kids trans -- LGBTQ Nation

John, it's terrifying but true. An extremist candidate in Ohio recently claimed "demonic spirits are attacking them, and satanic hordes are infiltrating them and even possessing their bodies", wrote a book called "They are Coming for Your Children" (meaning LGBTQ+ people) and has made her entire career about trans people and peddled anti-trans myths.

Drenda Keesee and her toxic beliefs sink to new lows - and it's terrifying look into how these bigots view LGBTQ+ people. And her rant is the best case we can make for electing LGBTQ+ voices at all levels of government. We NEED to elect LGBTQ+ people in Ohio and beyond to drown out these bigots and block their toxic legislation. Chip in to stand against Drenda Keesee and elect LGBTQ+ leaders!

Hateful rhetoric like this can't go unchallenged. If she can get away with it, other bigots will be emboldened. Extremists candidates like her are demonizing trans lives on the campaign trail - and they're 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,
