Get this pic out of your frontal lobes, peeps. I dare you.
The accompanying story is, by contrast, completely, mundanely unsurprising:
The nation’s first openly transgender legislator in a statehouse, Stacie Laughton of New Hampshire, nee Barry C. Laughton, Jr., was arrested by Nashua police on Thursday for falsely reporting a bomb threat at the Southern New Hampshire Medical Center on February 27th. Laughton admitted the crime to police, prompting the arrest. Laughton’s admission came amidst a two-week stay at the Brattleboro Retreat, a mental health and addiction treatment facility in Vermont, for treatment of a bipolar disorder.
The story writes itself, doesn't it?
Likely to be charged her with a felony count of falsely reporting an explosive, on Thursday Laughton told the New Hampshire Union Leader, “I have had a mental illness my whole life, and I guess this was my worst break with it. I was untreated for a long time, and I didn't have medication. I wasn't trying to hurt anyone, and it was totally out of character for me. I have put a lot behind me, and I never thought I would do this in a million years.
Oh, yeah,
The only newsworthy item in this story? That
I'd say
