We needed this badly: Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) was there to hold the Bible for her new colleague, Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) who is being sworn in earlier than other new Senators because he is filling an unexpired term, that of the late Senator John McCain (R-AZ). Kelly was sown in earlier today by Vice President Mike Pence (R-1882), who of course is known for his Religious Right affiliations. It seems with the two Senators for every state system it had become traditional for the new Senior Senator of the state to hold the Bible for his or her new Junior colleague. So Sinema — the only openly bisexual Senator now — did so wearing a purple wig and a leopard print coat! Fantastic!! Some reports noted Sinema has been wearing wigs lately to show solidarity with service workers and folks who can’t go out for personal services like hair care due to COVID-19.
Pink News commented “As the Democrats’ blue wave pushed Arizona towards Biden, the tableau of Pence, a vice president with a terrifying track record with LGBT+ rights, being face-to-face with a bisexual lawmaker in a pastel purple wig holding a Bible was truly a sight.”
Sam Stryker said, “Seeing Mike Pence have to swear in a Democrat senator while a bisexual woman in a purple wig and zebra print coat holds the Bible is EXTREMELY pleasing to me.”
Enjoy!
