Governor-Elect Terry McAuliffe has declared a new day for LGBT equality in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Inclusion and equality won in yesterday’s election, while the politics of hate and discrimination were soundly defeated.

Governor-Elect McAuliffe
Very glad that my vote yesterday morning is going to help put this in place.

You must have a reading comprehension problem: No One Cares.

I can multitask, and I'm sure that the new governor can too.

They don't and I never said they did. You could have a new candidate or incumbent that's a total trainwreck (IE Obama) yet people will still vote for them due to gay rights.

Not a single person in my whole large family will vote for a candidate that is against the human rights of gay people because we have two members in our family who are.
As do those of us who are not gay, who live nowhere close to close to Virginia, but simply support justice and equality.

You care. That's why you've posted multiple times in this thread.

There are hundreds if not thousands of threads started in these forums every day. The ones you don't care about are the ones you don't post in.

You're embarrassingly transparent.

Right, which still isn't caring very much. I mean how much effort does it take to open a thread and type a sentence.
