State of Hate

The Virginia House of Delegates passed overwhelmingly the following bit of bigotry:

“A civil union, partnership contract or other arrangement between persons of the same sex purporting to bestow the privileges or obligations of marriage is prohibited. Any such civil union, partnership contract or other arrangement entered into by persons of the same sex in another state or jurisdiction shall be void in all respects in Virginia and any contractual rights created thereby shall be void and unenforceable.”

Nice place, huh? You Virginians must be very proud of yourselves and your Legislature. (Via The Washington Blade.)

[I changed the heading. It begged it of me.]
