(Richmond, Va.) Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell has directed state agencies not to discriminate against gay people, essentially overriding the state attorney general’s advice to colleges.

McDonnell’s directive Wednesday came amid a public uproar over Attorney General Kenneth Cuccinelli’s letter last week telling public colleges they lack the authority to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation. Cuccinelli told colleges to rescind or change any anti-discrimination policies that include protection for gay people.

The Republican attorney general’s letter was denounced by gay-rights groups and Democrats. In the letter, Cuccinelli said colleges can’t include gays in their anti-discrimination policies without General Assembly authorization.

1. the Puke Gov issued a directive which

lacks the power of of law, so if someone decides to fuck you over, you have no legal options

2. Cuccinelli painted a target on gays' backs ...

with that letter. He basically announced to the world that it's okay to treat gays like crap in Virginia. I'm glad that the Gov overrode what the state attorney did, and I'm totally disgusted with Cuccinelli.
