Great News About Brittany Novotny And The Transgender Community

Well, yesterday I told you about Jan Buterman, a transgendered teacher in a Canadian Catholic school district who was fired because he was transgendered [see post HERE]. Well, today there is great news about transgendered political candidate Brittany Novotny.

According to Pam's House Blend, Brittany Novotny has been elected President of the Young Democrats Of Oklahoma.

And, yes, you read that right: O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A.

She is the first trans person to be elected president of the Young Democrats in any state. Not California. Not New York. Oklahoma.

Great news for the woman who took on armed-and-batshit-crazy homophobe Sally Kern in the Oklahoma District 84 Assembly race. Back then, Brittany Novotny didn't want her transgender identity become the focus of her campaign, and in a district that is extremely Republican--hence Sally Kern's ability to be elected even though she is a rabid dog of hate--Brittany Novotny pulled in 35% of the district's votes. 

And now she continues to work hard for Oklahoma, the Democratic party, and, even without it being her focus, the transgendered community.

Congratulations Brittany.

Oh The Irony!

Somebody, somewhere, has a divine sense of humor.

Sally Kern, wingnut-asshat-bigot-fucktard, from Oklahoma, you know, the one who said The Gays are more dangerous than terrorists, has a new opponent to face for her congressional seat come November.

Brittany Novotny. A transgender candidate.

Sally must be crazed at the idea.

Yesterday Novotny, an Oklahoma City attorney and, of course, Democrat, filed the necessary papers to run for the seat now being held by Sally Kern's dubious posterior, and she wants to make it clear that the campaign is not about her gender identity, but rather about the idea that Sally Kern is bad for her district: "For six years, we've had someone who has not represented her district, has been ineffective on problems, and is bad for business."

Kern is bad for everything.

Novotny said Kern is too busy pushing her own personal agenda--you know, her anti-gay agenda--rather than focusing on issues important to her constituents, and many of them are feeling disconnected with her.

Disconnected with a wingnut? Go figure.

And, in typical wingnut fashion, Sally Kern said she doesn't plan on mentioning Novotny's gender identity in the campaign: "There is so much we disagree on policywise that that is enough for us to debate on."

We'll see how long it lasts until Sally whips out the transgender card, but wouldn't it be divine justice to have Brittany Novotny beat Sally Kern?

Indeed, it would.
