Loudoun County Supervisor Eugene A. Delgaudio, the executive director of an anti-gay lobbying group, has sent a series of campaign letters
implying that his openly gay opponent is dangerous.The campaign letters resemble fundraising appeals Delgaudio has sent out since becoming head of the lobbying group Public Advocate of the United States in 1981.
Delgaudio has spent millions of dollars on a nationwide campaign that vilifies and ridicules gays as pedophiles and deviants. One year before his success the 1999 election, in which he faced no opponent, Delgaudio sent a letter seeking funds to fight gay adoption. "You'll see men hand-in-hand skipping down to adoption centers to 'pick out' a little boy for themselves," he wrote.
