Daniel “Danica” Roem, the first “transgender” state representative in U.S. history, won election to a new office last November and shared in a recent interview his intention to be sworn into the Virginia Senate with his hand on a heavy metal album rather than the Bible, as is tradition.
Roem, a male Democrat who identifies as a woman, defeated incumbent Republican Bob Marshall for his seat in the Virginia House of Delegates in 2017, an upset celebrated by LGBT activists. Last fall, Roem won his race to move on to the state Senate.
In an interview published on Tuesday by LGBTQ Nation, Roem, formerly a singer in a “death metal” band, shared, “I will be getting sworn in on a 1988 vinyl copy” of his favorite Metallica album, And Justice For All.
Roem was sworn in the next day, albeit without sharing details about the ceremony itself.
Virginia law says that “persons being sworn for any purpose may be required to place their hand on the Holy Bible” (emphasis added).

The Decadence of Western Civilization in America.
Is it legal to swear in someone that’s Insane ?
Dude, its a dude!!
There’s nothing new under the sun when it comes to the worship of the enemy.
Yeah, the names change, but it’s the same old stuff.
These morons worship Ashtoreth of the Old Testament....the sexual transgender god that spans the ages and is seen in many different cultures (Egyptian, Greek, Phoenician, Canaanite, Assyrian etc.) and goes by many different names: (Asherah, Astarte, Ishtar, etc)...demonic to the core and quickly replaces the spiritual emptiness when God is removed from a culture.
Yeah, it makes sense really, that’s what Satan would do..
MENTAL FILTH! .....imho
Where on earth did you get that impression?
You’re kidding, right? Listen to some of their interviews instead of just banging your head to their music. Their body art say it all.
This is what happens when mental health centers close and the rod is spared when growing up, or worse, have Marxist rat parents teaching them all the wrong things.
Picked Metallica?
Failed the female test right there!
why is this BS even allowed?
Even North Korea pretends to have baseline standards and core beliefs it expects its government employees to follow.
This is just random vandalism and creating chaos.
Good! Trust the science.
It just so hard to tell these days!
The first and hopefully last.
No. I’ve listened to these guys for over 30 years. They’re not satanists. Maybe not angels but that doesn’t make them satanists.
There will be a reckoning God will not be mocked.
