Big Surprise, Old Dominion Governor Rolls Back Protections for Gay Workers

Yes, now that Bob McDonnell is now Virginia governor, he repealed the protections instituted by his predecessor for gay and lesbian state workers:

McDonnell (R) on Feb. 5 signed an executive order that prohibits discrimination "on the basis of race, sex, color, national origin, religion, age, political affiliation, or against otherwise qualified persons with disabilities," as well as veterans.

It rescinds the order that Gov. Tim Kaine signed Jan. 14, 2006 as one of his first actions. After promising a "fair and inclusive" administration in his inaugural address, Kaine (D) added veterans to the non-discrimination policy - and sexual orientation.

It's because they need someone to hate, or they would have nothing to campaign on.
