In Virginia it has become issue because Cuccinelli made it an issue trying to pass sodomy laws that already have been struck down by SCOTUS.

This is why governor elect took care of this first to least protect the state LGBT employees.
It not issue to you but it is an issue to all the tax paying hard working LGBT community out there.
Equality is an issue.

His first day in office he starts issuing "executive orders."
Whether or not this was a good idea,
it shows how he plans to govern.
Power gone to his head on day one.
Looks like he thinks he was elected King.

This is true, but I haven't seen any evidence that homosexuals are discriminated against any more than heterosexuals.

Please provide examples of homosexuals being "banned" from working at companies "just because they are gay".

VA Guv shows his colors early on. More liberal activist agenda coming. I'm sorry for the good conservative people of Virginia.

Correction, in YOUR OPINION no one cares. Factually, you're incorrect.

Right because taking the time to address a growing issue means he's going to ignore the economy of Virginia for the rest of his time in office, right?

Again that's your opinion. Factually, again, you're wrong.

He does respect the rights of all people, doesn't he?
Last I checked, gun owners can still own guns and fire arms/ammo and still be purchased.

How is that discriminating and since when was "gun owner" it's own ethnicity?
