Things in the Georgia legislature getting more normal by the minute down there:
Atlanta City Council member Liliana Bakhtiari, who became the first gay Muslim elected official in the state when she was voted in last year, disclosed her relationship status in an interview with NBC News on Wednesday.
Bakhtiari said she had already been with her partner, Kris Brown, for almost a decade when she met Sarah Al-Khayyal in late 2020 through a virtual nonmonogamy support group.
The trio then embarked on a relationship that they opted to keep secret — even throughout Bakhtiari's local election campaign.
Bakhtiari, who is also nonbinary and goes by both she and they, said she wanted to come out about her relationship on her own terms to avoid a "scandal" as they plan to build a family together.
Yeah...
As the New York Post dryly noted, Bakhtiari
...didn't elaborate on what [the] family dynamics might look like.
Well, not to go on and on about it, but I have an idea:
Congratulations to Georgia on this historic intersectional accomplishment!!
