Dear Ginni Thomas,

Please let us know the process by which you’ll be allowed to vote. Your bio says you were born with the name Lamp, so presumably that’s the name on your birth certificate—-but you changed your name to Thomas when you married Clarence.

Or maybe your infamous husband will make an exception for you?

#MikeJohnson's '#niceguy' #persona masks his deep-rooted #animosity towards #LGBTQ+ #Americans.

Operating under #evangelical principles, he believes they don't deserve #equalprotection under the constitution, relegating queer Americans to #secondclasscitizens.

#Samesexcouples in the #UK feel like ‘#secondclasscitizens’ and face ‘#gay #tax’ trying to start #families.

There is clearly a big, unfair financial burden that’s been placed on #samesex #female #couples in this situation because the #criteria for a #cis, #heterosexual couple is two years of #unprotected #sex
