According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch:
State Sen. Bryce Reeves, R-Spotsylvania, called out a gay colleague over his sexual orientation during an NRA town hall meeting in Fredericksburg.
Speaking to a crowd of NRA members about the November elections, Reeves rattled off negatives about Sen. Adam Ebbin, D-Alexandria, in a monologue about why voters shouldn’t give control of the legislature to Democrats.
Reeves said Ebbin wants to “radically change Virginia,” is from Northern Virginia and “really liberal,” and “he’s one of the openly gay, uh, senators in our, uh, Senate.”

Ebbin is the only openly gay state senator in Virginia.
The June 26 town hall was closed to the media, but the Democratic Party of Virginia obtained a recording of Reeves’ comments and provided it to the Richmond Times-Dispatch on Wednesday. His comments were first reported by The Washington Post.
