""A member of the Virginia Beach Human Rights Commission is not apologizing following a series of Facebook posts that describe homosexuality as a “mental illness” and “abomination.”"

Following being called out by wavy.com LaKendrick Coburn El has doubled down on his bigoted stance towards gays and the transgender community. While freedom of speech is his right we shouldn't be allowing someone sitting on the Human Rights Commission to be such an intolerant individual and to promote his backwards ideals.  

As a Virginian born in the great city of Virginia Beach, I know the 757 is better and more of an inclusive community than this. Replace LaKendrick Coburn El with someone who not only knows better but does better. There is no room for blatant homophobia/transphobia on the VB Human Rights Commission.
