Winsome Earle-Sears on Civil Rights

 

 


Democrats think minorities can't succeed without DEI

Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R) is under growing fire from within her own party after invoking slavery to attack diversity programs, fueling Republican fears that her gubernatorial campaign could collapse before it gains traction. "Slaves did not die in the fields so that we could call ourselves victims now in 2025," the email read. "Democrats think minorities can't succeed without DEI."

2004: proposed banning same-sex marriage nationwide

Earle-Sears' position on LGBTQ+ issues has been consistent throughout her career. In 2004, during her campaign for Congress, she wrote in a Daily Press op-ed that "society has gone immeasurably beyond all standards in accommodating the homosexual community" and called for a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage nationwide.
