Federal Judge Rules Va. Gay Marriage Ban Unconstitutional
A federal judge ruled late Thursday evening Virginia's gay marriage ban is unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen's decision makes Virginia the second state in the South to have a ban on gay marriages overturned.
Eight years ago, Virginians voted to constitutionally define marriage between a man and a woman. Thursday, Wright ruled the ban violated the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th Amendment.
and another one
and another one
and another one bites the dust
even thought this one was stayed (which is awesome in itself because it will go to SCOTUS) the two court cases by FEDERAL judge have BIG TIME verbiage in them. not just saying equality or equal rights or unfair discrimination but UNCONSTITUTIONAL and VIOLATES THE 14th AMENDMENT
HUGE steps
this is awesome equal rights is coming and coming soon!!!!!
