NH GOP chair Sununu: marriage equality and trans anti-discrimination bills 'garbage'

What timing -- as we see Allen Ray Andrade sentenced to life in prison without parole for the heinous killing of Angie Zapata in the first murder case in Colorado after adding trans protections to its hate crimes law, here we have an example of why these laws are needed. It's for people like New Hampshire's former governor and current GOP state party chair John Sununu. Former Republican congressman Jeb Bradley won a seat in the state senate, and he was given praise by Sununu who declared, while commenting that marriage equality legislation and a bill preventing discrimination against transfolk are trash.

    He said Bradley's election actually helps Democratic Gov. John Lynch. Bradley could be counted on to sustain a Lynch veto of the gay marriage and transgender discrimination legislation, "if he (Lynch) finds the strength to veto that garbage," Sununu said.
