Richmond Times Dispatch Column: End Anti-Gay Discrimination and Virginia's Gay Marriage Ban

The Richmond Times Dispatch is hardly one of the Commonwealth of Virginia's more liberal newspapers. Indeed, all too often its editorial board endorses some of the ugliest elements of the far right of the GOP at election time. Thus, it is a pleasant surprise to see an op-ed piece/video by Tomes Dispatch columnist Mike Williams taking the position that it is time for the Virginia General Assembly to outlaw discrimination anti-gay in public employment and in the Virginia National Guard and, even more significantly, to end Virginia's ban same-sex marriages. The video is set out below. I can just imagine the outrage among the Christofascists at The Family Foundation ("TFF") and the black pastors that TFF cynically orchestrates to do the bidding of bigots and racists at TFF.
