Baddies for Voting

Led by Eshani Patel · 4 voters

Voting yes eliminates the 2006 constitutions provision in VA, which defines marriage strictly as a union between one man and one woman, opening the establishment of the fundamental right to marry, regardless of race, gender, or sex. Love is love.

SK8 TO THE POLLS

Led by Dot Johnson · 3 voters

What it does: Removes the obsolete language from the Virginia Constitution that defines marriage as only between a man and a woman, and affirmatively establishes that two adults may marry regardless of sex, gender, or race.

It also requires Virginia and its local governments to recognize and treat lawful marriages equally.
