Bob McDonnell’s McHatred: Constitution Doesn’t Allow Gays to Be Protected
When his 20-year-old, 93-page soliloquy on why gays and women are second-class turned up, Virginia’s gubernatorial hopeful Bob McDonnell sought to distance himself from his old way of thinking. Well, not entirely: He made clear he still thought gays didn’t deserve things like protection from discrimination. Earlier this week at a debate, McDonnell, the state’s former attorney general who has support from powerful folks, repeated all of that in case you weren’t listening.

Another rightwing-nutbag subhuman scumbag using the Gays as punching bags. What kind of skeletons are we gonna find in this scumbags closet???
Roman Catholic.
Another ambitious bigot.
Two steps forward, one-and-a-half steps backwards.
dislike the guy, not the religion. just like Muslim extremist don’t speak for all Muslims, idiots like these dont speak for4 all Christians.
T.L.-yes they do. They speak for all believers in a sky-god, even the queers in their midst. Which would be you, apparently. When have “gay christians” stood up to the hate and slander against us? Hmmm? “religious straight allies” is an oxymoron as well, see:realpolitic.
How did this guy get elected. Virginians got exactly what they deserve. However, the complacent left must be fired up now that he’s done exactly what he said he’d do.
What a country.
