http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local-beat/Loudoun-County-Anti-Gay-Controversy-82298642.htmlEugene Delgaudio, who represents the Sterling District in Loudoun County, is at the center of a political firestorm. He's accused of using controversial language targeted at transgender individuals.
It all started back on January 5th when the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors voted to ban discrimination in hiring someone based on their sexual orientation. Delgaudio – who voted against it – then sent out an email to his constituents explaining the boards decision by saying "if a man dressed as woman wants a job, you have to treat 'it' the same as a normal person."
