Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 You've got to move to Canada Mark! Jill Progressive Review, quoting from www.virginiaisforhaters.org VIFH - The Virginia General Assembly passed a law (HB 751)April 21 banning all contracts between partners in homosexual relationships. Not just marriage, all contracts. At the center of HB 751 is this language: " A civil union, partnership contract or other arrangement between persons of the same sex purporting to bestow the privileges or obligations of marriage is prohibited. Any such civil union, partnership contract or other arrangement entered into by persons of the same sex in another state or jurisdiction shall be void in all respects in Virginia and any contractual rights created thereby shall be void and unenforceable. " This law not only prohibits civil marriage between same-sex partners, but actively seeks invalidate any and all legal contracts between these individuals. Durable powers of attorney, health care directives, even wills and property contracts are at jeopardy now that this law has been passed.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 How totally unfair and narrow minded ---------------- To try to box in and control true love in any form is going against what it means to be human (in my opinion).
