     @Algae_X @nini Coming from a country that I can’t return to since I criticised its authoritarian Islamist president, I’m not the right person to ask that question. It’s not the shining symbol of liberation that some Western folks seem to think it is. More like a yoke of oppression dictated by the patriarchy.

     @aral @nini Fine Jewish senator with a kippah then, or Sikh senator with a turban, or Wiccan senator with a pentagram.

     Are you cool with any of those?
