State Sen. Beau McCoy, author of bill banning local gay rights laws in NE for the sake of 'uniformity,' also insists on uniformity in his facebook page

Politbureau, Soviet Union

Beau McCoy, president of Nebraska
Roof Savers and author of law to revoke and
ban local gay rights ordinances throughout
Nebraska. McCoy ()
represents Dist. 39, including parts of
Omaha. His Democratic opponent is
Judy Domina. His biggest 2008 backer
was TD Ameritrade scion Peter Ricketts.


Seen in the comments section of Towleroad:
Posted the following to his facebook and he deleted it within a minute:

"It just merely says that if we're going to change the protected classes ... we need to come to the Capitol to do it so that it's consistent across the state. If it's the right thing to do, it ought to be the right thing to do border-to-border, not just in one city or municipality." - Beau McCoy, 2012State Senator McCoy
    If consistency across the state is what you were aiming for, you could have introduced legislation forcing protections for LGBT citizens across the entire state of Nebraska. Instead, you are aiming to amend state law so that it actually takes away protections for LGBT citizens across specific municipalities where protections are already in place. You will be remembered as just another bigot who voted to take away protections for an already vulnerable minority group. -Michael
