Virginia Considers Issuing Anti-Gay License Plates
Virginia lawmakers will consider legislation to amend the state constitution to ban same-sex marriage in the new session of the legislature.
The state is one of what is expected to be up to a dozen states to take up the issue following voter approval in 11states last November of similar amendments.
But, the legislature will also look at a measure that would put the marriage issue on license plates. The bill calls for traditional marriage to be displayed on car licenses. If passed the plates would have interlocking gold wedding bands superimposed over a red heart over the legend "Traditional Marriage."
Up next: "separate but equal" plates? "I (heart) poll tax" plates? The mind boggles.
