If extremism is a competition, Oregon Democrats are in the finals
[WND] If extremism is a competition, Democrat lawmakers in Oregon are in the finals.

They arranged for a drag show to highlight their resolution, from Portland Rep. Travis Nelson, that honors the black drag industry in the state.
That’s an awfully specific form of decadence. Why are they prejudiced against Asians, Pacific Islanders, Latinos, blonds and redheads…
Oregon Live waxed eloquent about the event, with, "Isaiah Esquire danced his way through the Oregon House of Representatives on Wednesday to the sounds of Aretha Franklin, followed closely by fellow Black drag performer Aqua Flora, who held a pride flag aloft as they sashayed down the chamber's center aisle."

The report noted Speaker Pro Tempore David Gomberg said it was "appropriate" for lawmakers to applaud during the performance.

Nelson said, "Your presence, artistry and courage are a powerful reminder of the joy, resilience and cultural impact of drag in Oregon and beyond. Thank you for sharing your light with us this morning."

Nelson, as Oregon's first openly LGBTQ African American lawmaker, offered the self-promoting resolution weeks ago, pointing out that resolutions in the body rarely recognized members of the state's LGBTQ community.
