Virginia senator calls out gay colleague's sexual orientation in closed NRA town hall

State Sen. Bryce Reeves, R-Spotsylvania, called out a gay colleague over his sexual orientation during an NRA town hall meeting in Fredericksburg.

Speaking to a crowd of NRA members about the November elections, Reeves rattled off negatives about Sen. Adam Ebbin, D-Alexandria, in a monologue about why voters shouldn’t give control of the legislature to Democrats.

Reeves said Ebbin wants to “radically change Virginia,” is from Northern Virginia and “really liberal,” and “he’s one of the openly gay, uh, senators in our, uh, Senate.”

Ebbin is the only openly gay state senator in Virginia.

In the finest tradition of...uh.., Larry Craig, there are no openly gay members within the GOP ranks of the VA state legislature.
