Friend-
Earlier this morning, the U.S. Supreme Court announced marriage is legal for same-sex couples in Virginia. And the Fourth Circuit Court issued a mandate so that same-sex couples across the Commonwealth can be issued marriage licenses, starting right away! This is amazing news.
Just days into office, I conducted a rigorous and thorough review and concluded that Virginia's marriage ban is unconstitutional. Together, we have put Virginia on the right side of history in one of the defining civil rights issues of our time.
But the real heroes are the same-sex couples in Virginia and across this nation who are fighting for equal rights for themselves and their families.
Congratulations to all the couples in Virginia and across the nation who will be able to marry starting today!

The gag alerts just write themselves.
I decided by myself a law is unconstitutional and would not enforce the law. What a jerk.
Those who hate tradition and everything it represents will always advocate for the destruction of social standards of any variety.
But those standards have been constructed over millenia in order to hold society together and make human life possible.
Without them, societies become ignorant, hateful mobs - something we are seeing with increasing frequency.
It is open warfare on Christian conservatives...
We are reliving the experience of Stalinist Russia.
Sounds like a sick bastard.
Congratulations, the new government definition of marriage is as bankrupt as your government.
Puke. Puke. And Puke.
Well Mark may just want to get his available butt down to the nearest gay bar, get naked and greased up and get it on with the gutter snipes.
There’s something very wrong with Herring. If he isn’t a queer, he’s so breathless about them that he might as well be.
Remember, Mark - muslims outrank queers in the PC hierarchy.
Herring was having a gay old time, wasn’t he.
The crook got elected by only a handful of votes and his election stank of corruption.
Gov. McAuliffe is another thug who got lucky in that a lot of young liberals moved into Virginia because they couldn’t afford to live in Marxist Maryland, so they inflated the leftist voter pool.
Also, we have a lot of dumbassed minorities in our state. They don’t realize that they are living like slaves because of the Democrats and their racial and economic policies.
Stupid is as stupid does, and sadly that includes the right to vote.
How long will it be before progressive state AG’s are collaboration with LBGT groups to force priests and ministers to sanctify gay marriages. If courts can fine a bakery for not baking a gay wedding cake, what is to prevent them from forcing churches to conduct gay weddings?
Terry McCauliffe -> your state -> Soddom and/or Gomorrohah.
We do not live in a republic. The United States is nothing more than a tyranny of judges.
Exactly right. I used to pray for God to deliver this country, but it's so rotten with vileness that I don't do it anymore.
vile sodomite! i said time and time again. this is where i was born raised and still here but the ONCE GREAT STATE of Va is going down hill quick fast and in a hurry! it makes me very mad and sad to see my homeland allow such filthy goings on!
