Excellent new for Miles Grant - add this one to his Sierra Club endorsement!Virginia Partisans President Charley Conrad announced today that the Virginia Partisans Gay and Lesbian Democratic Club strongly recommends that equality-minded voters support Miles Grant for Delegate in the Democratic Primary for the 47th District on June 9. Miles Grant stood out as the leader on equality issues from day one of this primary campaign. While all five candidates are friends of the LGBT Community and have pledged to vote in favor of equality if elected, Miles Grant has set himself apart as model advocate for the LGBT community. The question for us is not whether you will vote for an LGBT friendly law. Rather, it is whether you will introduce that law, toil to gain the support for that law, and fight to get that law passed - even when it not popular to do so. Those qualities are what make one candidate stand out from a field of supporters.UPDATE: On a related note, see the comments section for Tim Kaine's statement marking June as PRIDE Month.
The time has come for Virginia to move forward on equal rights and it is the Delegate from the 47th District that must lead that movement. The citizens of the 47th, Arlington, and Virginia as a whole, deserve nothing less. Miles Grant has demonstrated himself to be that leader – the candidate who stands the strongest with us, will fight the hardest for us, and fully understands what is against us. For his proud commitment to equality, the Virginia Partisans supports Miles Grant for Delegate in the Democratic Primary for the 47th District on June 9th.
