'Controversial Log Cabin Republican state president resigns from VA LGBTQ+ Advisory Board' & other Mon midday news briefs

Casey Flores

Embattled Gay Va. LGBTQ+ Advisory Board Member Casey Flores Resigns​ - People like him we don't need, as the comments he made proves:

 “We’ve made it in America — gays have,” Flores said. “This is the greatest country in the world to be gay in. But maybe there are some things here and there that need to be ironed out.” “We owe a debt of gratitude to the gay left for fighting so hard for marriage, adoption rights, and not being able to be fired for being gay,” he said. “I really wish that they would enjoy the fruits of their labor, but a lot of people on the gay left act like they’re oppressed, and they’re doing it from the nicest condos in the nicest neighborhoods in the nicest cities, and they’re saying ‘it’s still a terrible place to live.’ That’s what’s confusing to me.”
