Chris Graham: Thanks, Bob, for letting us know

AFP

Quick note of thanks to Bob Marshall for bringing to our attention that the Federal Reserve Bank in Richmond is flying a rainbow flag in support of LGBT equal rights.

“I do not believe that a celebration of ‘gay pride’ has anything to do with the mission of the Federal Reserve under the Federal Reserve Act passed by Congress,” the Republican state legislator wrote in a letter to the president of the bank that his office shared with the news media on Thursday.

“This is a celebration of a behavior that is still a class six felony in Virginia. How can the American people trust the judgement of the Federal Reserve as an institution when its spokesperson celebrates an attack on public morals?” Marshall asked.

Which raises the question – Virginia still has a law on the books regarding what goes on in the private bedrooms of consenting adult partners here in our fair Commonwealth?

Another question – wonder if we still have miscegenation laws active in the state code?

But anyway, thanks, Bob, for letting us know. Looks like we have some code-cleaning to do.
