Virginia for (Married Gay) Lovers?

Dear Ken and a native Virginia and a Lesbian let me tell you your pissing into the wind thinking things will ever change here in Virginia. Need I remind you that Virginia was dragged kicking and screaming and by threat of Federal intervention to force them to even start desegregation of it's schools...so you keep holding your breath waiting for things to change here I'm making plans for your latter choice as life's to short to waste it trying to beat sense into a rock head bigots that live here..... I'm selling out and moving out going somewhere were I can live my life free from bigots and hate and outdated thinking. and Jerry need I remind you that our new Gov graduated from Pat Robertsons UNIV he's got Pats bigoted teachings running through his blood and swirling around in his head and don't you think Pat's not going to be whispering in his ear up in the Gov Manson...Hell I'll bet he'll even be invited to Christmas Dinner. If your waiting on Equality in Va your wasting yoru time.

It's against the US Constitution for the majority to vote on the civil rights of the minority. We only need one of the five radical right wing fundamentalist Christian anti-gay activist judges on the Supreme Court to pass away or retire and a constitutional fair-minded judge to replace him and we will finally get full civil marriage equality.

OMG! Gay marriage in Virginia?!? What's next, Pennsylvania?? Seriously I never thought I would live to see the day. I will stir up some cautious optimism that the world is still capable of changing for the better.

So, listen, folks. As a gay man in Virginia, I am painfully aware of how difficult it can be to live openly here. I also happen to love this state, and I have her red earth flowing through my veins. If you dislike Virginia so much, pull up stakes and move somewhere else. No one is stopping you, and I'm sure we won't miss you. Not only are you getting nowhere by trashing the state, you're giving gay Virginians a bad name by acting the stereotypical part of bitter old queens. I respectfully suggest y'all either shut up, get out, or do something positive to improve the situation.

Parker, Robertson is not at issue. By the time Virginia comes out of the 18th century, Robertson will have been dead for at least 100 years.

I live in Virginia. We are second to Texas in putting people to death, and home to the Moral Majority. That's what happens when people marry the cousins. There is no way that this will be repealed.

HAHAHAHA Surely you jest it will NEVER happen not here and not with homophobic Taliban Bob McDonnell as our Gov given that in 2006 when McDonnell, then attorney general, advised Gov Kaine that he had overstepped his constitutional authority when he outlawed bias against gays in state hiring McDonnell then suited the state and lost. Now as Gov he has already stated he will NOT sign the same rider Gov Kaine did to protect gays state employees. NO Gay legislation is ever going to make it out of the Va house of Representatives and It will never make it to the voters and if it ever does Pat Robertson and his Ilk will start yelling fire and brimstone form the mountain tops and scare every voters out their into voting the same way they have in the pass and we'll get the the result we already have in a BAND on same sex marriage. I've live here long enough to known Equality in Virginia is a lost cause...Virginia's not for lovers its for bigots.

Gee if only they had that system in California....

Also in today's news... The Virginia's state Senate passed a measure today that would protect gay and lesbian state workers from discrimination.
