While some of the constant media coverage has lessened, many in Virginia are still furious with our homo-obsessed Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli who seems way to obsessed for someone not worried about his own sexual orientation. One has to wonder what Cuccinelli will do next: Doing "under cover research" like Porno Pete at gay leather events? Meanwhile, protests continue on the campuses of Virginia's public colleges and universities and student face book pages opposed to Cooch continue to grow. Now the City of Falls Church has joined in and voted a public rebuke of the loon in the AG's office. While he may be the darling of the gay-haters at The Family Foundation, Cuccinelli seems to have forgotten that Christo-fascists do not make up the entire population of the Commonwealth. Here are highlights from the Falls Church News Press on the resolution adopted by that city's council:*
By a unanimous 7-0 vote tonight, the Falls Church City Council passed a resolution strongly rebuking Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's recent ruling calling for state colleges and universities to remove lesbians and gays as a class from protections against discrimination. The Falls Church Council's "Resolution in Support of Diversity" noted that the Council "was deeply troubled" by the March 4 Cuccinelli opinion, affirming that "discrimination will not be tolerated in any form" in Falls Church, and calls on Cuccinelli to rescind his opinion.
*
In the same resolution, the Council defies the basis for Cuccinelli's opinion -- that is, that since state law does not explicitly allow for protecting lesbians and gays that no jurisdiction within the state can allow it -- by stating, "It is the policy of the City of Falls Church to welcome people to the City -- residents, businesses and employees -- regardless of their race, color, religion or lack thereof, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy, national origin, age, marital status or disability."
*
One can only hope that Cuccinelli has unwittingly started a brush fire that will in time turn into a major conflagration and help fan anti-Republican sentiment around the state, especially in its suburban areas.
