Romans 1:28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.

Important Takeaways:

• Stacie Marie Laughton, who became America’s first transgender lawmaker when he was elected to New Hampshire’s House of Representatives in 2012, has been arrested on four felony counts of distributing child sex abuse imagery.
• The Democrat is no stranger to law enforcement, having twice resigned from politics after arrests for offenses including fraud, stalking, and bomb threats.
• Laughton was hailed as an LGBT role model when he was elected, with the media describing how his election in New Hampshire “not only made history in the state, but for the broader trans movement as [he] became the first out trans person ever elected to a seat in a state legislature.” Laughton said he hoped the “LGBT community” would be “inspired” by him. But he was not in the state house for long, resigning over previous credit card felonies, and later imprisoned for leveling a bomb threat at a hospital, which he blamed on mental illness.
• Despite this backdrop, he was approved to run as a local official in 2019, with the Democrats getting him reelected to the state house a year after that. Shortly after, his political career began to unravel once again, this time for arrests related to giving police false information and stalking.
• Laughton waived his arraignment on Friday.
