Donna Milo, the transgender woman running for a U.S. House seat in Florida, placed third of three Republican candidates in yesterday’s primary, picking up a still-impressive 22 percent of the vote but ultimate losing to Karen Harrington. Milo, the Cuban refugee who doesn’t believe in gay marriage and favors hetero adoption, may have lost, but did she also just become the most-voted-for trans candidate in a federal election ever?

Wow…to discriminate against Gays and Lesbians. This is why I do not believe that the Transgendered are a member of our community.

@Bob: because of the acts of ONE trans person? *eye roll*

Bob isn’t a member of my community. There’s no room for judgmental fucks in it.

Cool story bro.

Thank god she wasn’t elected. Having somebody within our own community that does things to hurt us makes me sick. Internalized oppression really sucks, eh? She could’ve gotten almost the entire gay vote if it weren’t for her stance. Sucks for her. Win for us, though.

As a non-democratic transwoman this saddens and heartens me, and part of me hopes she really was for marriage equality and was trying to appeal to the GOP base.

It’s a GOP primary, did she really expect to win, really?!?

She’s also my building manager…she sucks at that too.
