Sen. Beau McCoy's sneak attack at NE LGBT rights laws: Now there's a topic the billionaire Ricketts family can discuss during a holiday dinner...

Peter and Laura Ricketts

Recently AKSARBENT wrote a lengthy post about Nebraska State Senator Beau McCoy's sneak attack at LGBT antidiscrimination ordinances throughout Nebraska.

Turns out that, according to Ballotpedia, McCoy's biggest contributer in 2008, the year he was elected to the Nebraska Unicameral, was Peter Ricketts, son of the billionaire Omaha founder of what is now TD Ameritrade.

Wonder if Ricketts' sister, Laura, a philanthropist and gay Chicago lawyer who served on the board of Lambda Legal for years and is an owner of the Chicago Cubs, knows what her brother's homophobic pet politician has been up to?

The Nebraska Republican Party has announced a re-election kickoff event hosted by Boyd and Charlie’s BBQ Party Room in Elkhorn for Sen. McCoy, now busy kicking Nebraska's LGBT communities to the curb. McCoy's opponent for the 39th District is Judy Domina, who, AKSARBENT hopes, will kick McCoy himself right out of the legislature on election day.
