Ai ya, whenever things take a step in the right direction there are always people there to spew hate and ignorance in order to change things back to the way they were.

:) I like this change! And I hope that the HR635 fails.

Honestly, I don't get why people are taking the "allowing gays to be socially accepted + have the same rights" thing as some kind of personal affront.

How fucking stupid. So how does he feel if grandparents or an aunt and uncle are raising the kid or something? We just call them parents? I mean, come on.

Don't you know that NEVER HAPPENS? There are only families with one mother and one father and then those sinful gay families. Never anything else.

I'll never truly understand why some folks get so fucking upset because options exist that don't apply to them.

I bet this guy also gets mad when telephone recordings ask him to press 2 if he'd like to hear the menus in Spanish.

Or if there are vegetarian options on a menu at a restaurant.

Let me apologize on behalf of Virginia for this tiresome asshole. He's so odious (obviously), part of the reason I moved to the city of Richmond was so he wouldn't be my rep anymore. (Pray for me that my rep doesn't get districted out, though.)

How about some legislation that will create some JOBS? >:|
