Ugh.The basic 37-year-old gay-hating, Trump-loving Republican unsuccessfully tried to unseat incumbent Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly in last year’s midterms, despite having a huge PR machine and massive campaign warchest courtesy of gay billionaire Peter Thiel.Yes, you read that correctly.
Masters ran on an anti-LGBTQ+ platform, which included overturning Obergefell v. Hodges, the SCOTUS decision establishing a right to same-sex marriage, even though his campaign was largely funded by a gay man, whose same-sex wedding he attended in 2017.Masters is currently challenging Democrat Mark Kelly for his U.S.
Senate seat in Arizona.Now, there are whispers that Masters is plotting to launch another Arizona Senate bid, possibly sometime in the next few days.
