Virginia Governor Issues Written Directive Overriding Anti-Gay Attorney General Advice, William And Mary President Condemns Ken Cuccinelli, One Live To Live Drops Gay Couple, Jeremy Dias, Deborah Cox Plays Winnipeg Pride, Stephen Lynch, Adam Bouska, Nate And Nick Montana Shirtless Hotness, Kellan Lutz Wants To Show You More

Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell late Wednesday informed state agencies that they are not to discriminate against anyone based on sexual orientation in employment practices, in effect nullifying a letter from Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli sent late last week informing public colleges and universities that they cannot prohibit discrimination based upon sexual orientation. McDonnell’s instructions arrive as several hundred gay activists arrived at the state capital buildings to protest the anti-gay attorney general. Virginia’s Human Rights Act forbids discrimination based on disability, gender, and race, but the legislature has repeatedly refused to include sexual orientation to the measure. Confusingly, Cuccinelli issued a statement congratulating McDonnell “for the tone he is setting” and added that he expects all state employees “to follow all state and federal anti-discrimination laws.”

Meanwhile, the College of William and Mary President Taylor Reveley sent a message to the college community – and by obvious extension, to Virginia anti-gay Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, addressing the Attorney General’s letter of last week advising state colleges and universities that they cannot prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation without specific orders from the General Assembly. Reveley writes “let’s be clear that William and Mary neither discriminates against people nor tolerates discrimination on our campus. Those of us at W & M insist that members of our campus community be people of integrity who have both the capacity to meet their responsibilities to the university and the willingness to engage others with civility and respect.”

Shockingly, according to reports, One Life To Live is writing out the characters played by Brett Claywell and Scott Evans – Kyle and Fish, or Kish – the daytime drama’s history making gay couple. Executive producer Frank Valentini said “we are concluding the story that we set out to tell with Kyle and Fish. We are very proud to have broken new ground with a same-sex couple of daytime.” The couple, who will remain in the fictional Llanview, will disappear by mid-April.
