[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A close friend wrote this on Facebook and I think it bears reposting here: "While Governor of Virginia (2005-2009), he ran way progressive of the state (at that time) on GLBT rights. He was a dear friend when dear friends in my fair Commonwealth were really hard to find. I have first-hand experience of that statement, as 2005-2009 was also the period where I was President of Equality Prince William.  He campaigned hard against our “marriage amendment” in 2006, even though as Governor he had no control over its placement on the ballot. He didn’t have to do that, but he did. Fellow Democrats of the time like State Senator Creigh Deeds and State Senator Chuck Colgan and even State Senator Mark Herring sold us out and slunk away; Tim Kaine did not. He mourned with us when it passed. He attended every Equality Virginia Commonwealth Dinner that I can remember, at a time when that was considered a risk. He appointed Viola Baskerville, a legendary and well-respected early proponent of GLBT rights in the Commonwealth, to his kitchen cabinet."[/quote]

I love this![/quote]

I'm the person whose friend originally posted this. The full post is actually even better but it includes personal anecdotes about individuals I don't feel comfortable posting here. [/quote]
