RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Governor Ralph Northam put pen to paper in making Virginia the first state in the South to enact comprehensive protections for the LGBTQ community.

Today, Governor Northam announced he has signed the Virginia Values Act, protecting the LGBTQ community against discrimination in housing, employment, public spaces, and credit applications.

“This legislation sends a strong, clear message—Virginia is a place where all people are welcome to live, work, visit, and raise a family,” said Governor Northam. “We are building an inclusive Commonwealth where there is opportunity for everyone, and everyone is treated fairly. No longer will LGBTQ Virginians have to fear being fired, evicted, or denied service in public places because of who they are.”

No guns, no religion, but plenty of gays and dead babies. That’s the Virginia we got from the DC swamp crowd.

It’s OK to discriminate against unborn babies though.

Sodomy is not a legitimate value.

Normalizing deviancy, immorality and insanity. What about inclusiveness for pedophiles, murderers, necrophiles, and thieves? Why should they be discriminated against? We are here:

“If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. Didn’t those Trump voters in Deliverance bugger the fat guy after he squealed like a pig? So buggery is of course in. It was in a movie.

[CJ Wolf]

what about older straight people? are they equal or does this elevate LGBTQ into a specific class. I thought we all had equal rights already?

[fieldmarshaldj]

50 years ago in rural Georgia ? Those would’ve been devout Jimmuh Carter Demonrat voters.

Special treatment is NOT equal treatment.

Well Virginia certainly is no longer a southern state. They are as deeply demented liberal as NY or Taxsachusetts.

If one could take Southern/Western VA, NY north of Garnerville, and MA west of Springfield, you could create a very Conservative, yet non-contiguous state.

[RetiredArmy]

Have them succeed!!!

[Reily]

You mean secede.

[JonPreston]

Folks need to do less complaining about this thug and more political organizing. The decent folks of VA need to register lots of voters and kick his psycho butt out of office.

Blackface, Infanticide baby killer Northam needs to be recalled and sent packing. If there is no Recall in VA, then demonstrate 24/7 in front of the VA capitol with signs telling the Marxist Dictator to go back to the rock he was spawned under.
