I watched the live feed of the House of Delegates this morning. As usual they opened with a prayer given by an invited local clergy. Today's prayer included the Pastor calling for the Delegates to recognize God's law that marriage is only between a man and a woman. Speaker Filler-Corn tried to gavel him to stop. She then went into the Pledge of Allegiance to drown him out. Guess he won't be invited back again.
As seen below in link, some dems walked out in protest. Wish I had a list of those.
Back in 2006, Virginia voters via a referendum amended the state's constitution to only recognize marriage as between a man and a woman. In 2014 a court struck it down. The US Supreme Court refused to hear the case so same sex marriages became legal in Virginia. Our Democratic Attorney General refused to fight for it despite it being the will of the people in our state.
