There were some bright spots.
There could be many firsts in this year's election.
Low, currently a member of the California Assembly, is running for a U.S. House seat from Silicon Valley.
The final vote count shows Low in a tie for second with Joe Simitian, so both will be on the general election ballot, along with Sam Liccardo. The primary was held March 5.
LGBTQ+ candidates are running to make history in California, Texas, North Carolina, and elsewhere.
California out Assemblymember Evan Low said he was inspired to introduce this bill by an 8-year-old girl who asked, “Why should a store tell me what a girl’s shirt or toy is?”
An amendment would remove language from the state constitution that states “only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”
LGBTQ+ Americans are still far from equitable representation in public office, says a new report from the Victory Institute.
It would repeal the anti-marriage equality language of the infamous Proposition 8.
Despite being overturned, the proposition’s hateful language remains in the California Constitution.
