Loudoun Co. Official: TSA Pat Downs Are Part Of "Homosexual Agenda"

A widely distributed e-mail written by Delgaudio for the Public Advocate about TSA, claims the pat downs are part of a "Homosexual Agenda." And he criticizes TSA's non-discrimination hiring policy."It's the federal employee's version of the Gay Bill of Special Rights... That means the next TSA official that gives you an 'enhanced pat down' could be a practicing homosexual secretly getting pleasure from your submission," Delgaudio wrote.
In an off-camera interview, Delgaudio explained to WUSA9 that his assertion regarding this allegedly massive influx of "practicing homosexuals" getting off while sweeping your junk for explosives isn't representative of his position on the County Board of Supervisors, but is instead a stance he promotes as the President of Public Advocate of the United States, a conservative organization which offers Delgaudio a platform to comment on his belief that America is being overtaken by the ghey.
Of course, Delgaudio, who represents Sterling, does frequently front such views on the County dais, and has been called out, repeatedly, for his anti-gay stances. In January, five of his fellow representatives condemned Delgaudio after he called transgender people "freaky" during a legislative debate over extending sexual discrimination protection in the County. "[I]f a man dressed as a woman wants a job, you have to treat 'it' the same as a normal person," Delgaudio wrote in a commentary about the bill. In fact, Delgaudio's personal Edward Hyde pops up all the time in his political life: he's implied an openly gay campaign opponent was dangerous in 2003, argued in 2004 that anti-bullying efforts in local schools shouldn't cover gay students, and on and on.
Delgaudio, who narrowly defeated Democratic challengers in both 2003 and 2007 to retain his seat, is up for re-election next year.
