State Senator Jim Ferlo: "I'm gay. Get over it. I love it"
Quote:
Ferlo isn’t running again, and he’ll leave the Senate on Nov. 30 after 12 years. Ferlo also notes that he’s never denied being gay.
“I’m gay,” Ferlo said. “Get over it. I love it. It’s a great life.
Ferlo made the remarks at the Capitol rally.
The new push for the legislation comes after a high-profile altercation in Philadelphia that left two gay men injured. Police initially called the case a potential hate crime, but Pennsylvania’s hate-crime statute doesn’t cover crimes motivated by anti-gay bias.”
