”That Mr. Cuccinelli would make such incendiary and prejudicial remarks as a candidate for the state’s highest legal office is truly frightening, and we call on him to apologize for injecting his personal and hateful opinions into this race…. We hope voters evaluate very carefully a candidate who intends to let his personal beliefs and prejudices guide his decision making as Attorney General.”
David Lampo of the gay political group Log Cabin Republicans taking on Republican candidate for Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli, for his recent public statement that homosexual acts are ”intrinsically wrong” and ”not healthy to an individual” or society. Lampo, however, does appear to support the Republican candidate for Governor in Virginia, Bob McDonnell, who has also had some odd statements about homosexuality in his past. (Washington Post)
