Va. Pol Under Fire for Transphobia
By Ryan Holman
http://www.advocate.com/News/Daily_News/2010/01/25/Va_Pol_Under_Fire_for_Transphobia/Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio of suburban Loudoun County, Va., is in trouble for harsh statements he made in opposition to legal protections for transgender people.
The issue emerged as the board of supervisors voted on Wednesday to include sexual minorities in the county's workplace discrimination policy, an expansion Delguadio described as "bizarre," The Washington Post reports. The Republican from Sterling said in his newsletter that under the new provisions, "if a man dressed as a woman wants a job, you have to treat 'it' the same as a normal person."
