Virginian voters, I can’t say that I’m surprised at you. A little disappointed, but I never had my hopes up too high that you might not be swayed by homophobia. As has been widely reported, the wording of this amendment is so unneccesarily draconian as to threaten partnerships both homosexual and heterosexual. The text of our new amendment is as follows:
“That only a union between one man and one woman may be a marriage valid in or recognized by this Commonwealth and its political subdivisions.
“This Commonwealth and its political subdivisions shall not create or recognize a legal status for relationships of unmarried individuals that intends to approximate the design, qualities, significance, or effects of marriage. Nor shall this Commonwealth or its political subdivisions create or recognize another union, partnership, or other legal status to which is assigned the rights, benefits, obligations, qualities, or effects of marriage.”
At least it looks like you all did not allow macaca to serve another term. Whether this puts a quash on his presidential aspirations remains to be seen.
Oh, and Rick Santorum lost! How fucking awesome is that?
