New York too is trying with much difficulty to legalize same-sex marriage, but it is only a matter of time before we're looking back on all the unnecessary fuss being made over including everyone in their basic rights.

Bob McDonnell, who took office in January, removed protections based on sexual orientation from his anti-discrimination order, saying Democratic Governor Tim Kaine exceeded his constitutional authority by extending protections to gays by signing executive orders barring state agencies from discriminating in hiring, promotions or firing based on sexual orientation.

State Democrats and other fair-minded individuals disagree, but the ever influential Religious Right as represented by a spokesman for the Family Foundation of Virginia, which opposes anything sensible, said the criticism of Cuccinelli's action is unwarranted.
