Der Republikaner, der hinter dem landesweit ersten Verbot von Pride-Flaggen an Schulen steht, verliert die Vorwahl

>Utah’s virulently anti-LGBTQ+ state Rep. Trevor Lee (R) conceded last night to his primary opponent Bob Stevenson.

>The so-called accomplishments Lee cited in his statement included introducing a bill that made Utah [the first state](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/03/utah-bans-pride-flags-after-cowardly-governor-avoids-veto/) to ban Pride flags from all government buildings, including schools.

>Last June, Lee also expressed disapproval for the state’s National Hockey League (NHL) team, the Utah Mammoths, for unveiling a rainbow-colored Pride Month variant of the team’s logo with the caption, “Happy Pride!”

>In response, he vowed to introduce legislation to restrict public funding from private organizations that create rainbow variants of their logos or sponsor Pride celebrations, arguing that accepting government funding should require “political neutrality” from private institutions.

>In 2022, investigative reporters from the *Salt Lake Tribune* discovered Lee was secretly running a social media account that promoted election conspiracy theories and attacked women and LGBTQ+ people.

>Lee’s site touts his support of parental rights, which is a conservative dog whistle for eliminating LGBTQ+ curricula and rolling back protections for LGBTQ+ students. He also puts forth his “pro-life” stance as well as his support of “election integrity efforts,” playing into the president’s conspiracy theory that American elections are “rigged.”

>Stevenson, on the other hand, lists four main priorities: remove the state tax on Social Security; reform property taxes; attainable housing for our children and grandchildren; and smart water policy.

Christian nationalist culture warriors are so contradictory. They claim they are so tough all the time, yet they literally panic at the sight of a rainbow.

Christian nationalists have fragile masculinity, for real.

Guess he’ll have to rent out that forehead as advertising space to make ends meet.

most republicans who try to cash in on hate usually get at least one term to fill their pockets.

Lost his primary? So he wasn’t crazy enough?

One day we are going to hear he’s been arrested for making snuff movies with pre-teen girls

What an embarrassing first

I think people are finally getting fed up with all the hate and bigotry from these degenerates.

No-Eyebrow-Havin‘ motherfucker.

Good.

Now, on to the next one.

Any politician who fights against free speech should be tossed at the first possible chance

Of course he looks like that.

why do anti gay Republicans always have the gayest faces?

My state’s primaries aren’t for a while yet, so I gotta research who’s running and prepare

Aren’t all flags pride flags?

That’s why people fly them because they are proud of whatever it represents

Republicans campaigning from the closet. A tale as old as time.

Baby steps.

You can’t convince me that’s not Anders from Workaholics
