Va. Senate approves marriage equality affirmation bill
The Virginia Senate on Tuesday approved a bill that would affirm marriage equality in state law.
State Sen. Adam Ebbin (D-Alexandria)’s Senate Bill 1096 passed by a 25-12 vote margin.
“My bill ensuring that Virginians have the right to marry who they love regardless of their sex, has passed the Senate on a bipartisan vote,” tweeted the openly gay Alexandria Democrat.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia also noted SB 1096 passed with bipartisan support.
“Virginia is for all lovers,” tweeted the ACLU of Virginia. “Our law should reflect our values.”
