VA Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli Is A Bigger Homophobic Bigot Than Governor McDonnell

While Virginia Governor Robert McDonnell recently undid a previously in place gubernatorial mandate to forbid discrmination in state employment against gays, his successor as Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli, has done something he did not do as AG or since. He has written a letter to all the governing bodies of state universities and colleges informing that as the law does not prevent discrimination against gays in hiring, they should not be passing rules (as most have) to forbid such discrimination against gays in hiring. I have no comment on this other than to say that if there is a hell, Cuccinelli will be going there, much as he would claim just the opposite for this action.

Nice state you have there. Of course, my home state produced Tim Pawlenty, who says he will not run for governor again. But he's a liar.

I will add that Sen. Warner warned this might damage VA's academic institutions. Chris Freund of the VA Family Foundation said no, that they are among the best in the world and "can stand on their own." This sort of reminds me of Germans in the 1930s going on about how great it was to throw out the Jews and the superiority of "Aryan science." I suppose Freund believes in the superiority of "heterosexual knowledge."

I have friends that are gay, what's the big deal? They are human beings damn it! So if a gay works, how could this affect my business?

I apologize for getting Cuccinelli's first name wrong initially. Now it is fixed.
