RICHMOND, Va. - More than 1,300 people attended a dinner Saturday night, signalling that there is significant support for a campaign to defeat a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and civil unions in Virginia.

Among the supporters for the campaign are former Sen. Charles Robb, who was the keynote speaker, and Gov. Timothy M. Kaine, who did not attend but sent a letter saying he will vote against the proposed amendment and urging voters to follow his lead.

Virginia is one of 12 states scheduled to put referendums banning same-sex marriage before voters in November.

Two families pledged to donate $100,000 each to the campaign, and gay-rights group Equality Virginia raised another $200,000. It has promised to spend $750,000 in its bid to defeat the proposed amendment, and has the support of several other groups. . . .

Does Kaine's quote suggest he won't sign the amendment if it passes?
