Hey, I voted for him. Didn’t realize he’s gay, but that’s cool. There are so few politicians that are out, it’s kind of ridiculous.
I feel like it was a thing people talked about when he ran for senate. I think this is the first article I’ve come across this year where it’s mentioned.
I voted for him when he ran against Fetterman for the Senate previously, but unfortunately in this race he didn’t seem to be the most progressive option. His opponent this time around (Pinsley) has attended pro-Palestinian rallies and stuff, Kenyatta seemed shakey on that. Among other things. It really sucks when the most marginalized candidate and the most progressive candidate are not the same person… Still, this is historic and important and an improvement regardless.
I’d love to hear a more thorough and accurate assessment of this race, if anyone’s got one! All I’ve got is an impression from some bare minimum googling.
