Who's Afraid of Virginia's Gays?
The Virginia House and Senate are moving overwhelmingly (73-22 in the house yesterday) towards a proposal for a vote in November on amending the state's constitution to ban same-sex marriage.
Wake up Virginia, same-sex marriage doesn't mean men HAVE to marry guys; or that we HAVE to marry women. So if we're not being forced to marry someone of the same gender. WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM? And don't give me Bible quotes, unless you're willing start stoning family members for various infractions that you don't bother remembering from the Bible anymore.
And to those 73 members of the Virginia House, take a chill pill, pull up a chair to the 21st century and get over yourselves. Last time I was across the river, I noticed a whole lot of issues Virginia needs to address (gridlock, anyone?). Wake up and take care of the things that need to be taken care of.

very well put. i wish i understood how gay marriage or civil unions is going to require men to marry men and women to marry women. if i understood that, perhaps the allegedly fatal effect this broadening of the definition of marriage would have on the "traditional" family. and then maybe i could define the term"traditional family." is this the donna reed template, one woman, one man, one boy, one girl and a nice house in a small town? has this EVER been true in the us of a? not if you read anyone who knows about the sociology of families--look at stephanie coonz, "the way we never were."
the antigay marriage initiatives are a colossal waste of emotional energy. as you point out, are there NO OTHER PROBLEMS in your community that could use some citizen assistance?
beam me up, scotty. i don't understand any of this.
