In Florida, the first Generation Z candidate won their race in the 10th congressional district. Maxwell Alejandro Frost, who is only 25 years old, beat out 72-year old Republican Calvin Wimbish. In New Hampshire, the first trans man in United States history was elected to the state legislature.

And the word “gay” means happy. it is not a description of behavior or sexual attractions. The proper term for her abnormal sexual attraction is homosexual and homosexuality and if she is involved in same-sex-on-sex behavior the additional words are sodomy, sodomite, sodomize. It is important to use the proper words and their real meanings. And many people misuse words to hide behavior and real objectives.
