Roem, who is openly transgender (and plays in a metal band), ran against Bob Marshall, a Republican incumbent who infamously billed himself as the commonwealth\u2019s \u201cchief homophobe.\u201d Marshall also penned Virginia\u2019s so-called bathroom bill, which would have made it unlawful for trans folks to use the bathroom that corresponds to their gender identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">The race was marred by Marshall\u2019s constant stream of petulant transphobia and general asshattery, including frequently misgendering Roem and depicting her as a bathroom predator, but Roem rose above his bottom-dwelling commentary\u2013and trounced him on election day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">After the race, a reporter asked her about her opponent. Her inspiring and graceful response? \u201cI don\u2019t attack my constituents. Bob is my constituent now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">Roem\u2019s answer is so classy it almost tops her response to Marshall\u2019s steady stream of anti-LGBTQ legislation over the years (he\u2019s one of the most anti-LGBTQ politicians in America), which was to run for his seat in the Virginia statehouse and beat him by 10 points.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: 8pt;color: #000000\">Source:https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/40493246\/danica-roem-just-gave-the-classiest-response-ever-to-a-question-about-beating-bob-marshall<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/business\/danica-roem-just-gave-classiest-response-ever-question-beating-bob-marshall.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Danica Roem just gave the classiest response ever to a question about beating Bob Marshall Danica Roem just gave the classiest response ever to a question about beating Bob Marshall: Newly elected Virginia state delegate Danica Roem just pulled off the classiest response to ever grace the lips of a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":51463,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[36456,96651,36457],"class_list":["post-51458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-best-usa-latest-business-updates-news","tag-danica-roem-just-gave-the-classiest-response-ever-to-a-question-about-beating-bob-marshall","tag-usa-latest-business-updates-and-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51458"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51458\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
