Delegate Adam Ebbin released a statement condemning Delegate Bob Marshall for his comments against the rainbow flag flying over the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.

From Ebbin:

“Sadly, it’s no shock to learn that Bob Marshall has once again attacked the dignity of Virginia’s LGBT population. That he would attack the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond for flying a flag that promotes equality, tolerance and acceptance tells us all we need to know about Delegate Marshall’s priorities. Across the Commonwealth, LGBT Virginians, their friends and their families are celebrating this week as the start of a month where we express pride in who we are and what we have accomplished as a community. Despite the best efforts of those like Bob Marshall, it has gotten better for LGBT Virginians, and so long as I am in the General Assembly I will fight every day to ensure it continues to do so.”

Ebbin is the only openly-gay delegate in the state and is a candidate for a seat in the Virginia’s Senate.
