After a heated discussion full of the usual Republican lies and scare tactics, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors voted on January 5 in favor of adding language to the county's equal employment opportunity policy not permitting the government to base its hiring or firing practices on someone's sexual orientation or gender identity.

"It's the right thing to do," said Supervisor Stevens Miller (D-Dulles), the maker of the motion, explaining he heard from several members of the community on the matter and thought it was time to include the language in county policy.
