On his first day governor elect Terry McAuliffe said in his first press conference that his first executive order will be to ban discrimination against LGBT state employees.

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.

And yet you cared enough to open this thread, and comment.
Generally, if I don't care about something, I skip right on past it.

So LGBT state employee discrimination was a rampant issue in VA then? Or is this another useless measure by a liberal so he cay say look what I did and make people feel all warm and fuzzy?

It is very nice to see a Governor that respects the rights of all people.

Cuccinelli wanted to re-instate Virginia's archaic sodomy ban that would have thrown gay people in jail for gods sake! How crazy and ridiculous was that guy? If he didn't exert every bit of his being into trying to control what Virginians do in their own bedrooms maybe he would have had a chance at re-election.

Actually, everyone that is gay or who has a loved one that is gay will be happy about this new governors stance.

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.

If the politics of hate were soundly defeated, why is a Democrat the governor?

I usually do skip over these gay threads, but today I decided to post. I'll repeat:NO ONE CARES.

Who cares about the economy (or anything else for that matter)? We need gay rights! Very progressive!
