Daniel “Danica” Roem, the first “transgender” state representative in U.S. history, won election to a new office last November and shared in a recent interview his intention to be sworn into the Virginia Senate with his hand on a heavy metal album rather than the Bible, as is tradition.
Roem, a male Democrat who identifies as a woman, defeated incumbent Republican Bob Marshall for his seat in the Virginia House of Delegates in 2017, an upset celebrated by LGBT activists. Last fall, Roem won his race to move on to the state Senate.
In an interview published on Tuesday by LGBTQ Nation, Roem, formerly a singer in a “death metal” band, shared, “I will be getting sworn in on a 1988 vinyl copy” of his favorite Metallica album, And Justice For All.

Should have sworn in on Twisted Sister.

Many Americans are Satanists.

Satanically-controlled. They aint normal.
Look at his dead eyes.
“Sad but true!”
Satanism has become quite fashionable with the celebrity and wannabe classes.
“The voters who put him in office are mocking God as well. They knew what they were electing.”
You can’t mock God. You can only commit blasphomy by trying to intentionally use God. And the laws in Virginia allow a state senator to be sworn in on anything they want. As for the new state senator, even a person not even partially qualified can get elected to office. Look at our VP.

You can go away now. St. Anger was terrible, and I’ve never been able to listen to any new Metallica since then, but I love the old stuff and would still go see them live.
Maybe you’ll get to sit with the VA tranny in the mezzanine.
Good. I didn’t want him desecrating a Bible.
This guy will mess up. He will assume that all Christians are White Baptist Bible-Thumpers and say or do something stupid. Then he’ll find out how many Black Christians are around.
God is the Lord and has revealed Himself to us, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
Va. is a weird State full of weird pols.
WAAAARRRRRGHHHHH!!!!!
Gotta give it to him, the dude truly looks like an ugly woman.
