Laphonza Butler will be the 'first black lesbian to openly serve in the U.S. Senate,' California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom touted on Monday.
Laphonza Butler will be the “first black lesbian to openly serve in the U.S. Senate,” California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom“I’m proud to announce California’s new United States Senator — Laphonza Butler. As we mourn the enormous loss of Sen. Feinstein, the very freedoms she fought for — reproductive freedom, equal protection, and safety from gun violence — have never been under greater assault,” Newsom said in a post on X.
For my daughter, and all of America’s daughters, we must take this fight on with all that we have. The same Reps who stacked SCOTUS to roll back Roe, abandoned voting rights in the country, passed laws attacking gay and trans communities. Right👏🏾 Now👏🏾we must fight👏🏾.We celebrate Trans Day of Visibility with them – recognizing that with the joy comes the knowledge that there is still much work to do.
