2012 Stacie Laughton becomes the first state legislator in the US elected while out and transgender. Political operatives then unearth a criminal conviction in her past and she resigned before being seated. (She was re-elected in 2020, and then re-arrested in 2022.) 2018 Danica Roem becomes the first state legislator in the US who was elected and served while out and trangender. Media depictions predictably polarized.
