Last week, The Advocate covered the historic
news for American history about Misty Snow, an out transgender woman
who has a fighting chance to become a U.S. senator. In the article, “Meet
the Woman Who Could Become the First Out Trans U.S. Senator,” The Advocate
writes about the 31-year-old from Utah who has the potential to unseat one of Congress’s most vocally anti-LGBT members.
Misty Snow made history Tuesday
when she became the first transgender woman to win a major party’s
nomination for the U.S. Senate. Snow will face Republican Sen. Mike Lee
in November's general election. Lee, a close friend of failed
presidential
candidate and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, has coauthored several anti-LGBT
bills, including one seeking to invalidate nationwide marriage equality,
and another attempting to enshrine a so-called right to discriminate
against LGBT people into federal law.
