Rick Garcia, Gay Rights Leader, Discusses Sudden Firing From 'Equality Illinois'

Gay Rights Leader Rick Garcia On His Sudden Firing

'So he fired me 10 days after we passed a civil-unions bill that only six states have. He fires me. Who has passed more civil-rights legislation in this country than that little nasty--I can't even think of the term--that he would even think of? And then he sits across from me and says, "I'm terminating you because we don't need you up here no more." And that's what he said to me. We're terminating you.'
