Paul Scott Facing Possible Recall Election In Michigan

Michigan's transphobic conservanegro state legislator Paul Scott  (R-Grand Blanc), who ran a failed Secretary of State campaign heavy on the transphobia but was elected to a second term in the Michigan House, is now facing the ire of the constituents he pissed off with his conservastances.

A recall petition and its language was approved by the Genessee County Election Board which will allow the Recall Paul Scott group to start collecting the 9446 valid signatures they will need by August 5 to get it on the ballot.

Kat at ENDAblog let fly with her thoughts (as usual) about this good news from Michigan, and I am definitely happy to see this cookie chomping knee-grow potentially have to face a recall election.   Couldn't happen to a nicer transphobe.

Your GOP flavored BS is costing teachers and other people in your district jobs, and it will nice if their and other people's votes in a recall election cost you yours.

Got Oreo's? 

Congratulations Denise!

One of the things we have griped about for a long time in the trans community is the fact that when it comes to the professional LGBT advocacy organizations that do the work, in their senior leadership positions they are heavy on the GL portion of it, rarely involve the B and when it comes to the T invisible.

Well, we finally have one of our own making a little history in that regard.  Attorney Denise Brogan-Kator, who has been the acting executive director of Equality Michigan for the last six months recently had the 'acting' part removed from her title.

"Denise is an excellent choice to lead Equality Michigan. She has a great understanding of Michigan's needs. Denise is a strategist and will be very thoughtful in leading us to equality." said former Executive Director Alicia Skillman, who stepped down from the role at the end of 2010.


Congratulations Denise on making some history and blazing a trail for us.   May you have much success in your new position.
