Dear Georgia: Kelly Loeffler? Really? You Can Do Better

Dear Georgia

Your Senator, Kelly Loeffler, figthin’ real hard to save her seat, but is she doing it for you, or for her own hateful reasons?

Loeffler is one of the richest people in Congress and has pledged to donate her $174,000 salary to Georgia charities, but she gives to Hate Charities, like an anti-LGBTQ+ group and “pregnancy centers” meant to discourage women from having abortions.

Covenant Care Adoptions is a nonprofit adoption and counseling agency that compares loving gay relationships to bestiality and therefore refuses to work with LGBTQ+ people. The group also attacks transgender people, saying that “rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.”

And while Loeffler gives them money, she’s also doing their bidding; last fall she sponsored a bill to ban trans girls from school sports. The bill—catering to the whims of anti-trans MAGAts—could be interpreted to require genital exams for girls who want to compete in school sports. The irony … the hypocrisy … is that Loeffler is the co-owner of Atlanta’s WNBA franchise, whose players have organized for her opponent, Reverend Raphael Warnock, and whose team captain is a lesbian. She takes money made off an WNBA team and funnels it to anti-LGBTQ+  and anti-women hate groups.

One of the anti-abortion groups Loeffler is funding opposes contraception and tells clients to be abstinent or use the “rhythm method” of only having sex when the woman isn’t ovulating. The group also says that it offers an “abortion pill reversal” despite any lack of scientific evidence that it works.

Yes, go back to the dark ages, ladies, that’s what Kelly Loeffler hopes.

Loeffler’s opponent, Raphael Warnock, has a long track record in support of LGBTQ+ people. As the senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church—where Martin Luther King Jr. was pastor—he has carried on King’s tradition of advocating civil rights, while including the LGBTQ+ community.

It seems simple: vote for the man who wants to include all Georgians, or vote for the millionaire who funds anti-trans hate and anti-women ideologies.

Seems simple enough. And that’s without even talking about how she sold off stocks to add to already considerable fortunes at the outbreak if the pandemic. People were dying and this bitch was cashing a check.

Cast some goddamned Blue Votes. Rid yourselves of Loeffler and David Perdue.
