The Congressional Equality Caucus touted what they described as “the gayest Congress in American history” on Thursday after 16 openly LGBT congressional candidates secured electoral victories this week.
“The American people have made their voices heard. The 120th Congress will officially be the GAYEST Congress in history! (that we know of),” the caucus wrote with a rainbow-themed graphic. Along with U.S. flag, pride flag and transgender flag emojis, the caucus added: “Let’s get to work.“
The celebratory X post comes as an unprecedented number of openly LGBT candidates — all of whom are Democrats — are slated to serve in the next Congress, including two senators and 15 representatives. Rep. Chris Pappas, D-N.H., will join Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., as the second gay member of the U.S. Senate and the first openly gay man to serve in the chamber.
Joining nine re-elected House incumbents who are openly LGBT, the six newly elected gay representatives include Cait Conley from New York, JD Ford from Indiana, JoAnna Mendoza from Arizona, Jeremy Moss from Michigan, as well as Marni von Wilpert and Scott Wiener from California. Janelle Sarauw, a non-voting delegate to Congress from the U.S. Virgin Islands, is also openly lesbian.
At least 11 trans- and nonbinary-identifying candidates nationwide won legislative races Tuesday, including Rep. Sarah (Tim) McBride, D-Del., according to LGBT outlet Pride Source. The first transgender-identifying member of Congress, McBride’s initial election in 2024 prompted an immediate battle on Capitol Hill over congressional bathrooms, spearheaded by former Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C.
The Congressional Equality Caucus flagship bill is the Equality Act, the latest version of which was introduced in the House in April 2025 by Rep. Mark Takano, D-Calif., who chairs the caucus as the first openly gay person of Asian descent to serve in Congress. The bill would make gender identity and sexual orientation protected classes under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and critics have warned that it would threaten religious liberty by erasing all legal distinctions between male and female in public life.
The above demonstrates we are fast approaching the time Jesus returns to rescue God’s nation, Israel and restore righteousness to an unbelieving world. Next on God’s agenda for Earth is Jesus Millennial Kingdom (go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net for more information). Satan’s rule over this world is coming to a catastrophic end. Biblical end times prophecies are playing out in our day but we still have the great tribulation and the Antichrist’s reign to come. It’s time to become familiar with Jesus warnings about the time of the end of this age in the Olivet Discourse
