Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Friday announced the appointment of three people to the Virginia LGBTQ+ Advisory Board.
Youngkin named Kerry Flynn, Jason Geske and Collin J. Hite to the board. Casey Flores, the president of Log Cabin Republicans of Richmond, in July resigned from the board before his tenure was to begin.
The resignation came amid growing criticism over a series of anti-LGBTQ and misogynist comments he made against Vice President Kamala Harris and U.S.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), among others. Youngkin last month announced he plans to revise the Virginia Department of Education’s guidelines for transgender and nonbinary students.
