ronda storms (little r, little s)

Hillsborough county commissioner ronda storms, little r, little s, was successful in her crusade to rid the county of any Gay Pride.

Storms went a step further Wednesday, getting most of her fellow
commissioners to ban the county government from so much as
acknowledging gay pride.

And she made it tough for the policy to be rescinded.

After scant discussion that contrasted with many impassioned pleas from
gay rights advocates during the morning public comment period, the board
passed the proposal 5-1.

Commissioner Kathy Castor voted no, and Commissioner Ken Hagan was
out of the room during the vote.

The discussion went like this:

Storms: "I move that we adopt a policy that Hillsborough County
government abstain from acknowledging, promoting or participating in
gay pride recognition and events, little g, little p."

Castor: "I think it's inappropriate for government to promote
discrimination."

Commissioner Brian Blair double-checked Storms' wording.

Then they voted.

Storms followed up with a second proposal, that commissioners can only
repeal the policy on a 5-2 super majority vote that follows a public
hearing. This time, Hagan was in the room and joined the majority in a
6-1 vote, with Castor again dissenting.

What a bigoted cunt! And evidently the rest of the county commission is equally bigoted. And here are the names of the intolerant hateful pigs. All in lowercase, of course.

ken hagen - district 2
thomas scott - district 3
ronda storms - distict 4
jim norman - district 5
brian blair - district 6
mark sharpe - district 7

And it seems that ronda must be too busy spreading the gospel of hate to take the time to respond to my letter last week.
