Va.’s generally embarrassing assembly and treatment of the LGBT community
As an ally I find it difficult to believe how minimum and ironic the current Virginia government’s treatment of the LGBT community really is. Whether it is Virginia Delegate C.

Delegates in Virginia have a lot to learn about human rights.
