There is always an exception to the rule, though it could be argued that she is only "technically" a woman ( even that may be in doubt )

GREENVILLE, S.C. South Carolina's first openly gay legislator hails from the unlikeliest of places: an ultra-conservative part of the state that is home to the Christian fundamentalist school Bob Jones University.
Republican Rep. Jason Elliott, a 46-year-old divorce attorney, said his sexual orientation was not an issue in his campaign and is irrelevant to his job at the Statehouse, as his focus will be on improving education, increasing jobs and repairing the state's crumbling roads and bridges. He expects his votes to align with his GOP colleagues.
"Every South Carolinian has equal rights, not special rights, and I believe each part of the constitution is equally important," he said. "In South Carolina, that means respecting other people's viewpoints and protecting religious freedom."
Elliott ousted four-term GOP incumbent Rep. Wendy Nanney, a Bob Jones graduate and daughter of the university's longtime academic dean.

I’ve always suspected the SC legislature was queer. This proves it.
Divorce lawyer? Yikes.
“It wasn’t an issue.” Does that mean those who voted for him weren’t privy to that info?
No mention of Linda Grahamnesty?
Women are just soft and sensuous. What the Hell do a guy see in another guy?
Of course not. Like I said, this is an ASS Press article. You can't expect them to mention linda.
He sees homosexual-6 striped flags now? Why doesn’t someone in South Carolina sell G-d striped rainbow flags?
I suppose one could accurately represent a “deep red” district and STILL have an uncommon sexual orientation.
So long as the specific orientation does not become the all-consuming business of the representative, but is kept in the background without being thrust, literally, in people’s faces relentlessly, well, don’t ask, don’t tell.
Only Democrats politicize sexual orientation, anyway.
If it doesn’t impact policy or legislation it’s none of anybody else’s business.
Now Flimsey Grahamnesty can come out of the closet.
“He expects his votes to align with his GOP colleagues”
Good thing I’m not a Republican or I’ll puke.
It is if he's a disease-ridden, boy-raping whackjob.
I guess Linda’s not “out of the closet” yet.
women are beautiful and only a mental disturbed man would find another man attractive.
“I’m sorry, but nothing beats a woman, if you’re a man.
Women are just soft and sensuous.”
Like that tune in South Pacific:
“There is nothing like a dame, nothing in the world,
“There is nothing you can name, that is anything like a dame.”
There was a line from a Harold Robbins novel I used to great success with the women in my life,
“How can there even be such a thing as homosexuality, with beautiful women like you in this world?”
He didn’t claim to be a rapist nor a pedophile, in case that makes any difference to you. Straight men can also be rapists and/or pedophiles too, for that matter.
I dunno. If I were at that Marxist Harridan March in DC after Pres. Trump’s inaugural, I’d think twice about wanting to be with “those.”
He’s obviously an ass man.
