Delegate Bob Marshall is the author of the Marshall-Newman amendment, which if passed this November will codify state law against same-sex marriages and other civil unions into the Virginia Constitution. Evan Wolfson is the executive director of the group Freedom to Marry, a national organization formed to be a “central architect of the marriage equality movement.” The two men met in debate at the University of Virginia Law School on October 5th. The debate was moderated by Dahlia Lithwick, a senior editor of Slate.com.
Evan Wolfson speaks very clearly and succinctly about people being in committed relationships and equality. I think it is time we all had a little compassion for fellow Virginians, regardless of color, ethnicity, gender, lifestyle, and especially social class.
Heck, we should have more compassion for those stuck in a lower social class than ourselves.
Our legislature has nothing more important to fix?
Instead of working on our broken election and voting system they are making redundant laws to write bigotry into our constitution. I am angry about this.
I’ll be doing everything I can to see that Delegate Marshall does not get reelected.
