Sen. Loki Tobin, chair of the Education Committee in the Senate has an unusual politically charged mug on her desk in the Alaska State Senate chambers.
It says on it, in big letters, “THE FUTURE IS QUEER.”
While the term “queer” is historically considered a derogatory label, it’s been embraced by many in the LGBTQ+ community as a positive and inclusive term. But generally the LGBTQ+ community only accepts its use by they/them, and not by others.
Tobin has no known children but is the Senate’s point person for education policy and funding.
She has in the past been photographed wearing a hat that says “PROTECT TRANS KIDS.” And she said bathrooms reserved for girls is a form of terrorism agains trans kids.
Republicans are censured for having such propaganda in the Senate and House chambers.
An example took place in 2021, when then-Rep. Chris Kurka wore a face mask to the floor of the House Chamber, as required by Legislative Council.
But on his face mask were the printed words, “Government Mandated Muzzle.” He was ordered to remove the mask by then-Speaker Louise Stutes. Kurka ended up leaving the chambers, the government-mandated mask firmly affixed to his face.
Uniform Rules adopted by the House and Senate prohibit political messages on attire on the House floor, but evidently mugs with Democrat political messages, such as the one being displayed by Sen. Tobin, are acceptable in the Senate. At least the messages that are Democrat-approved are acceptable, since Democrats control the Senate due to the side switching of a handful of Republicans, such as Senate President Stevens, Sen. Cathy Giessel, Sen. Jesse Bjorkman, and Sen. Bert Stedman.
Tobin is the poster child for Alaska kids brainwashed by outside leftists.
