Ohio state Rep. Candice Keller made headlines last summer when she refused to resign after blaming drag queens and same-sex marriage for a mass shooting that left nine people dead in Dayton, Ohio. Now, she just lost her bid for the Senate.
In a since-deleted Facebook rant last August, Keller blamed the massacre on “breakdown of the traditional American family,” as well as “transgender, homosexual marriage, and drag queen advocates” and “the culture, which totally ignores the importance of God and the church.”
She also accused her fellow state lawmakers of being “snowflakes” and having “no interest whatsoever in learning about our Constitution and the Second Amendment.”
Despite calls from within her own party to resign, Keller refused, saying: “Establishment moderates have never been fans of mine because I ran against their endorsement and won. As the only conservative in this race, I will be taking my Senate campaign to the voters to decide.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Well, last week, voters decided. And they picked Keller’s Republican challenger George Lang. Lang beat Keller with 12,339 votes to her 8,107.
And while it’s great Keller will no longer be around to spew her toxic bigotry on the House floor, Lang isn’t exactly a win for LGBTQ people. In 2018, he scored a D with Equality Ohio for her views on LGBTQ rights. (Keller scored an F.) Still, a D is better than an F.
Keller’s term in the Ohio House of Representatives ends on December 31, 2020.

It’s called penis envy! She is envious of anyone getting penis because she isn’t!
ChristopherEK
And she’s probably not getting any penis either. Look at her, a rumpled mess.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
That miserable aberrant noxious pernicious ignorant disturbingly ugly crunt should be seeking Drag Queens guidance in how a masculine looking troll witch like that mess could somehow resurrect a hint of femininity on it’s appearance….

Now if she would just put a gun to her head and blow her tiny brains out we’ll all get a big kick out of her interpretation of the second amendment.

Bye, witch! Now go fly off the moon with your anti-gay and transphobic @ss!

What’s appalling is that it’s not just her. 40% of the people who cast votes agreed with her.

As a foreigner, it bugs me that 40% if Americans are still willing to vote for Trump AGAIN.

This B ITCH is nothing but a f ucking, evangelical, fundamentalist, a ss hole C UNT. So glad the populace sees her for what she is and voted her out of office.
Mack
Probably upset because they looked better than her.
ChristopherEK
ANY drag queen I’ve seen in my many experiences looks better than that thing!

One candidate rates an “F” on LGBTQI issues, and the other, her opponent who defeats her, rates a “D.” Is there a message here about ANY and ALL GOP candidates in general these days??? I vote “Blue,” BTW, in the interests of candidness.

Now, gurrrrl, sashay away!
