Activist Justice Horn Slams Abarca Amid Kansas City Pride Triumph

Even on Sunday in Kansas City . . . Pride top the local agenda.

And so we offer a glimpse at the cowtown political discourse beyond the surface level celebration of most MSM outlets. 

Let's start with an update and a bold statement for context . . . 

Rising star activist Justice Horn recently offered his perspective on the turbulent situation involving Jackson County Legislator Manny Abarca . . . 

His summary is scathing and should be documented given that Mr. Horn recently announced his candidacy for the Jackson County Legislature . . . 

Check-it:  

"I ran against Manny Abarca in 2022 not because of political disagreements, but because I believed he posed a serious threat to this community—on every level. I warned countless people about him. My concern was never about policy differences; it was about character. 

"I believed then, and I still believe now, that he is not fit to lead—He should not be in office."

 And that brings us to this weekend . . .

IN CELEBRATION OF PRIDE WEEK: JUSTICE HORN EARNS TRIUMPHANT FRONT PAGE COVERAGE FROM THE NEWSPAPER!!!

 Here's the defiant and motivational message to locals that Justice Horn shares from the spotlight . . . 

This image is on the front page of the Kansas City Star—and it captures exactly where our community stands today. ⬇️

Wick Thomas (far right in this picture) just made history as the first Trans person elected to the Missouri House—and you have me running for county office as a BIPOC openly gay candidate. If I win, I’ll be the first openly LGBTQ+ person ever elected to the county, and the only openly LGBTQ+ elected official at the county level statewide. 🌈

When I first ran, many in the democratic party backed establishment candidates, like Manny Abarca. And we’re seeing how that’s paying off for them. 

In both my race and Wick’s, the party always backs the status quo, while LGBTQ+ prople are left to fight uphill battles just to be seen, to be heard. But that’s not new to us—we’ve always had to fight as queer and Trans people. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
