A perfectly qualified judge is rejected by the Virginia state senate because he's gay. Well, not exactly:
Marshall, the Family Foundation of Virginia and others who raised concerns about Thorne-Begland’s nomination said they did not object to him because he is gay, but because of his outspokenness on the subject of gay rights.

This is a party now committed to being homo-rein.
