WASHINGTON // Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. fired one of his appointees to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority yesterday after the board member asserted on a local cable talk show that homosexuals lived a life of "sexual deviancy."

Marylanders need to elect a GOP Governor there!
Oh wait...
Well, of course. How else would someone describe it?
It would be enough if they could settle for someone who has actually read the Constitution and comprehends the concept of freedom of speech....
The governor's leotard has a big hole in it, but the tutu covers it up.
Fo de chillins???
It ain't "deviancy" if no endangered species are put at risk!
Fired for telling the truth? First Amendment a little too inconvenient, eh gov? Get rid of that RINO. I'm sorry I supported him.
I'd be curious to know if he has a valid lawsuit here. Seems to me he does...
1 : to stray especially from a standard, principle, or topic 2 : to depart from an established course or norm

Deviate
1 : to stray especially from a standard, principle, or topic
2 : to depart from an established course or norm
Diviant
One that differs from a norm, especially a person whose behavior and attitudes differ from accepted social standards.
Accurate description of a person/action now makes you guilty of dicrimination in MD? Time to head south. I've always liked parts of NC and SC. Any real estate agents here?
As an American citzen he was free to say what he wanted. As a political appointee Ehrlich was free to fire him.
Is this evil, or what?
The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men – Psalm 12:8
Hey, the homosexual lifestyle is no different than heterosexuals -- those heterosexuals, that is, who engage in anonymous anal and oral sex with multiple partners they meet in public restrooms and bath houses.
Did I mention gerbils?
GMTA
One fewer reason to support Gov. Ehrlich's re-election.
RINO BOB we call him now ...
Ann Colters new book is living proof that the truth sells

All cities are run by Democrats sucking off federal money and handing it out in big wads of cash to their special interest groups.
Like little kingdoms of the insane.
Guess you're going to have to be 39 seconds faster next time, lol. ":)
Afterall DC attracts the liberal buttholes, and a lot of them settle in the Maryland suburbs.
