Anti-Gay License Plates Die-Virginia
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/02/021505vaLicense.htm

Legislation has been withdrawn that would have seen cars in Virginia bearing license plates promoting heterosexual marriage.

The bill passed the House earlier this month (story) and was headed for a Senate vote when Del. Scott Limgamfelter (R-Prince William) decided to pull the legislation.

Lingamfelter said the recent passage in both the House of Delegates and the Senate of a constitutional amendment to prohibit same-sex marriage accomplished the task.

1. Virginian legislators are a bunch of pissers, man
They just won't go away from national news, with stories about really dumb, vulgar conservatism. Wedding bands and a heart, with the phrase "Traditional Marriage"?!?! I betcha it was one of them cheesy vine-looking fonts.

4. The anti-gay adoption bill was defeated today too.
Finally, I can feel a bit less embarrassed to be from Virginia. (Notice I said, A BIT)
