"Newly unearthed photos show U.S. Reps. Buddy Carter and Mike Collins dressed in drag while they were in high school. Both politicians are staunchly anti-trans and support President Donald Trump's aggressive policies that strip LGBTQ+ people of their rights."
"In Collins' yearbook from his senior year at Piedmont Academy in Monticello, Georgia, in 1985, there are photos showing the congressman wearing a floral sleeveless dress and long wig while standing next to a young woman and another man also dressed in drag."
"Carter, whose real name is Earl LeRoy Carter, is seen wearing a long dress and sash in the Robert W. Groves High School yearbook for 1975, the year he graduated from the school in a suburb of Savannah."
U.S. Reps. Buddy Carter and Mike Collins, known for their anti-LGBTQ+ positions, were discovered in drag in high school yearbooks from the 1970s and 1980s. Collins' yearbook from 1985 features him in a floral dress, while Carter's 1975 yearbook shows him in a long dress. Both politicians are currently running in Georgia's primaries against each other, aiming to unseat Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff. The photos reveal a stark contrast between their past and present views on gender and LGBTQ+ rights.
