Matt Putorti is an openly gay Democrat currently running for the 21st Congressional District seat in the House of Representatives.
Yesterday, he shared a voicemail he received from an anonymous caller accusing him of being a spy before dropping a bunch of antigay slurs.“As an out gay person, I was really excited to announce my campaign for Congress during #pride and knew what I was getting into,” Putorti wrote. “Less than a week later, I got this anonymous voicemail full of hate and homophobia. [Trigger warning.] While I’m not surprised, it’s not ok.”?#Thread: As an out gay person, I was really excited to announce my campaign for Congress during #pride and knew what I was getting into.
