Morality and money join in harmony. In Bostock v. Clayton County, 17-1618, the Court held “an employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.” [FN2] Beckwith really comes out to say how he feels: 2/7

“If you think that men can be women and women can be men, and there’s pronouns needed when we’re talking to one another, you don’t understand the basics of even reality.” [FN3] Beckwith is the one who needs to understand reality. The law provides for damages. [FN4] 3/7

Damages exist to stop the violations of rights. Morality is assaulted by Beckwith’s words now and, were s/he to be Lt Gov, Beckwith’s actions giving rise to damages. Beckwith’s a dumbass who screwed up on the HEPL board [FN5] so badly, the campaign has not mentioned it. 4/7

Beckwith’s such an embarrassment to Mike Braun, the lead on the magaGOP ticket, that signs for Gov & omit “LtGov.” So remember: #BrainsNotBraun Also: remember to follow Cassie Jackson on Facebook! 5/7
