AP publishes a stirring ode to Montana trans lawmaker Zooey Zephyr, one half of a true 'power couple'

Let's talk about Montana Democratic State Rep. Zooey Zephyr. Or, rather, let's talk about the Associated Press' fawny and weird obsession with Montana Democratic State Rep. Zooey Zephyr.

Back in April, the AP did several stories on the trans lawmaker that went way beyond thorough and landed firmly in "we want to wear her skin as a coat" territory. OK, maybe that's a slight exaggeration. Or, then again, maybe it's not.

April was a busy month for the AP, huh?

Well, the AP was pretty quiet in May, which also happens to the month in which Zooey got engaged to her longtime trans activist girlfriend Erin Reed. The AP didn't beat other outlets to the punch on that story, but that's OK, because the AP knew they just needed to wait for an even more exciting story idea to come along. And now, it has:

"A power couple." More from the AP:

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — Zooey Zephyr and Erin Reed walk hand in hand at a Pride parade in the college town of Missoula, Montana, wearing smiles as sunny as the day is rainy. Adoring fans cheer them along the route.

Reed stops and raises a small Pride flag. Zephyr cups her hands together in a heart over her chest in appreciation. Zephyr, a transgender state lawmaker, later gives a speech to hundreds attending the event. Tears well in people’s eyes as they speak with the couple afterward.

I can only assume that AP firefighters were among the adoring fans who cheered Zephyr and Reed along the parade route. With tears welling up in their eyes, too, of course.

A little more from the AP's "article":

Zephyr and Reed, both 34, have emerged as a vanguard, a power couple spreading hope to fellow transgender people amid a year in which hundreds of bills were proposed or passed that restrict their rights in health care and other realms. Their appearances at Pride events this month throughout the country replicate scenes like the one in Missoula.

Largely unknown just a few months ago, the two women now rate among the most prominent figures in the world of LGBTQ+ advocacy. They’ve appeared at dozens of events, including the GLAAD Media Awards in New York City in May. People lined up to meet them after speaking in Florida, Ohio and Los Angeles, and even recognized them during their recent trip to Glacier National Park. Documentary film crews follow them around. They recently rubbed elbows at a bar in the nation’s capital with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and his husband, Chasten, during Pride festivities.

Squee! Oh, squee!

Good luck finding a more inspirational story than the story of trans lesbian power couple Zooey Zephyr and Erin Reed. Go on. Just try!

Not gonna lie, I want to be mad at the AP for trying to pass this big bowl of cotton candy off as legitimate journalism. I really do! But it's really hard to be mad when I'm laughing as hard as I'm laughing at them right now. This "power couple" business is just so pathetic that it's genuinely hilarious.

I say this without an ounce of sarcasm or disingenuousness: I hope that the AP keeps putting out stories like this. Life can get pretty difficult sometimes, and I think I speak for all of us when I say that we need all the laughter we can get. And if it's the AP that wants to give that to us, well, we're here for it.
