Adam Cox (R) used an LGBTQ endorsement to attack an out candidate

«My opponent thinks being a member of the LGBTQ community is a bad thing», the candidate said in response to the ad.

Adam Cox, the Republican opponent of Ali Brown, a bisexual Democratic candidate running for Indianapolis City Council, has posted an ad highlighting Brown’s sexuality. An email shows that one Republican leader told other GOP politicians not to discuss the ad with the media.

The ad showed an image of Brown in a t-shirt reading «The Future is Female» and says «Liberal Ali Brown endorsed by LGTBQ Victory Fund», lgbtqnation.com reports.
