"On Cuccinelli’s letter". Let's hope in the future Ron Paul stays far away from this type of endorsement.

politician and the Attorney General of Virginia.[1] From 2002 until January 16, 2010 he was a Republican member of the Senate of Virginia, representing the 37th district in Fairfax County.[2][3] A Republican convention selected him over two other candidates to run against Democrat Steve Shannon for Attorney General,[4] and he won the November 2009 general election.[5] He took office as Virginia's Attorney General in January 2010.
Cuccinelli was born in Edison, New Jersey.

Gay rights
On March 4, 2010, one month after Governor Bob McDonnell issued an Executive Order which did not include protections for gays and lesbians employed by the Commonwealth, Cuccinelli issued a letter to Virginia's public colleges and universities that said, in part, "It is my advice that the law and public policy of the Commonwealth of Virginia prohibit a college or university from including 'sexual orientation,' 'gender identity,' 'gender expression,' or like classification as a protected class within its non-discrimination policy absent specific authorization from the General Assembly,"[34] He then advised that the schools should "take appropriate actions to bring their policies in conformance with the law and public policy of Virginia."[35] According to the Washington Post, "leaders of academia attacked the state directive on several fronts"[36] including criticisms from the American Association of University Professors and Cuccinelli's own alma mater, the University of Virginia.[36]
On March 10, 2010, McDonnell issued Executive Directive One (a statement of executive policy) to all state agency heads directing them not to fire employees based on sexual orientation.[37] Despite the controversy, Cuccinelli stood by his letter, saying state universities are governed by the Dillon rule and had inadvertently circumvented state law.[38] In a letter written to the University of Virginia community (Cuccinelli's alma mater), state senators Creigh Deeds, Mark Herring and Ralph Northam pointed out that McDonnell's directive was only a directive and did not "carry any weight of law" and would still prevent students or employees "who are discriminated against because of their sexual orientation" from seeking "a course of action".
