Everton Blair is Georgia's first out gay man elected to Congress. My state. The one that spent my entire adult life explaining to me, patiently, why somebody like me could never hold anything at all.
He told voters it would be the honor of his life to serve them. In Georgia, in 2026, an out gay man saying that sentence out loud in front of a microphone is not a nice moment. It's infrastructure.
Who was the first person from your place to hold a thing your place said they couldn't?
