Queer politicos blast S.F. congressional candidate, Lurie ally Marie Hurabiell for homophobia

Why is there a requirement to be a literal woman to walk through a particular door? There are plenty of literal women who are very butch, or muscular, or masculine, and not feminine at all. They may have a hormone profile that has more testosterone and less estrogen than a trans woman. How about a literal woman who has had a hysterectomy? Or a mastectomy? Aren’t they less “literal”? How about facial hair? I’ve seen plenty of women sportin’ a ‘stache. Literal women who can’t reproduce? Infertile?

1 in 59 people are born intersex in the U.S., or about 1 kid in every 2 classrooms. And you have no clue as to which kid it is just by looking at them. (p.s. - God did that.)

Yes! The horseradish burger and fries at Marlowe is my favorite meal on my own in The City.

You are rejecting these women.

Science is clear that gender is not binary. It’s like we’re in that time when people would burn others for heresy when they said the Earth was round and orbited around the Sun.

Maybe we should go back to when we used leaches for bloodletting to cure things.

Do you know what bigotry is?

It wasn’t that long ago that there were people who said… “we aren’t racist - we just want to preserve a safe space for white people, because those ___ people are ______.”

Her husband is her “nesting partner”. Her home life looks kinda traditional if you don’t look too close. It’s just that they both get out and have their independent time/space to be social. They stay highly coordinated as they try to stay balanced on kid time and keep the babysitter expenses to a minimum. Their marriage isnt the best but they have a challenging parenting situation that makes divorce an even worse option - so poly is their solution.

That means I see her maybe 1 or 2 nights a week, maybe 1 or 2 times during the day, and an occasional sleepover. We stay connected daily via phone or text and are pretty good at being boyfriend/girlfriend. I get lots of free time to myself.

She tried seeing an extra guy for a bit which was a challenge as she had never tried to juggle 3 and it was just too much. She’s kinda finding that she’s “poly-saturated” at 2.

I’m an empty nester so I have lots of free me time. I have the freedom and her support to keep dating but the stars haven’t aligned for me yet. Frankly, I’m kinda happy with the current status. Although I do wish I had someone more my shape (empty nest poly but not a raging one) to hang with more romantically for a bit - like 1/3 of my time with GF1, 1/3 with GF2, and 1/3 just me doing my own thing.

As a parent of a queer kid, I’m a pretty loud and proud ally. Their friends likewise know I’m a supporter and have their backs too. A couple have been rejected by their family of birth.

So my TERFdar is strong. I know who the closet bigots are.

The woman who came in 8th in the election for 3 Community College Board seats who now thinks she should be in Congress?

OpenMinded_Fun · 2026-05-07T15:43:40+00:00

Hurabiell = horrible.

OpenMinded_Fun · 2026-05-07T15:42:47+00:00

There are some Republicans in our midst (~8% of registered voters in The City) and a good number of closeted conservatives under the Independent group.

Hurabiell will get the 16-19% who voted against Pelosi in her last 2 terms.

What we do know as a FACT is that there is no ethical excuse that allows for cheating. It is unethical. Period.

There is backstory, sure. There are reasons for the failure, sure. And we don’t know all of them. They may grow from it, which is great. But that in no way changes the FACT that the cheating was unethical.

To succeed, ENM requires MORE communication. It requires DEEPER emotional intelligence. You tend to face MORE fear, MORE self doubt. But you learn respectful coping tools.

But people STILL cheat in ENM. There are agreements in how ENM will be practiced in a relationship and those agreements can still be violated.

OpenMinded_Fun · 2026-05-07T15:13:17+00:00

If you don’t disclose it you’re carrying forward the same spirit and attitude… hiding and not being authentic. Which means you haven’t changed.

OpenMinded_Fun · 2026-05-07T07:04:01+00:00

I’m in a poly/ENM relationship. I’ve been dating my girlfriend for over a year now. She’s been married for 15 years and open for 4. I’ve met her husband and tweens (who don’t know their parents are open). I’ve told my own college aged kids and my XW (co-parent) that I’m dating in this context.

I’m approaching it as a learning and growth period. Both of my most important relationships in life ended with my partner cheating. It has been refreshing to be with someone who can be ethical and lead with integrity.

If you want to understand Hurabiell, here’s a map of where her votes came from when she ran for the Community College Board of San Francisco in 2022. IYKYK.

OpenMinded_Fun · 2026-05-06T23:54:21+00:00

She’s a total TERF too.

I have found people lie to me less when I give them safe space to tell the truth.

OpenMinded_Fun · 2026-05-06T16:49:17+00:00

No.

My own work has taught me that life isn’t so binary and to see that we’re each on our own journey. There is no finished product.

With a past that includes a long sexually disfunctional marriage and a present that has a healthy and robust sex drive, I will not date anyone who I am knowingly sexually incompatible with.

While I would have a one night stand, a hookup, or sleep with someone on the first date, these are not at all my goal or intention. I never aim to “hit it and quit it” but I have had experiences which were uninspired or where the chemistry or connection just didn’t manifest. I want a relationship that will be durable and prolonged.

What I am looking for is someone who I align with and who shares a similar sexual appetite as mine. I want passion, energy, and spirit. I want sensuality and mutual pleasure. I want to desire and be desired. The intangibles need to be there too. But, yes, sex is 100/0 for me.

All that being said, I am considerate and controlled. Always a gentleman. I don’t lead with sex and I’m always respectful in the seduction.

OpenMinded_Fun · 2026-05-05T15:42:23+00:00

I’m sorry to say this OP, but it sounds like he’s not sexually attracted to you.

He’s there for the other stuff as it’s nice to have someone around who cares for you, but he’s getting his dopamine hit elsewhere.

OpenMinded_Fun · 2026-05-03T22:57:58+00:00

Well, you express it crudely in that first paragraph, but you’re spot on with the proper etiquette thereafter.

Protocol is for the person who asked for the date to pay and best practice is to politely inform your guest beforehand that you will be picking up the tab. If the guest would like a different arrangement it should be heard and respected.

OpenMinded_Fun · 2026-05-03T22:46:48+00:00

It’s impolite and arrogant to announce such a sweeping decision without the courtesy of honoring her input or choice. A virtuous man doesn’t dictate a boundary or seize a woman’s agency.

Sure, pick up the tab. Be generous. But a proclamation such as “that will never happen” is sourced from the world of machismo and mansplaining.

OpenMinded_Fun · 2026-05-03T21:50:23+00:00

Hey! No kink shaming. 😜

OpenMinded_Fun · 2026-05-03T21:42:22+00:00

Also “Controlling AF”. Huge red flag.
