6. And our Senators to the Federal Government are just as bad
One of our senators to the Federal government was the governor here. George Allen. When he was governor he had a law that two people who were unrelated or married could not get home loans together.

If you go back and look at the civil rights movement and interracial marriages that were all of the news when the san fran gay marriages first broke..... this was one of several states who finally stopped the law against interracial marriages in 1967.......

after 'rogue' judges as Bush and right wings like to call them... the USA Supreme Court made it illegal.

When in the late 50's early 60s they tried to have integrated schools here. They just shut down the schools. For years.

We have the most right wing schools here. The 700 club school is Regent university. There is another right wing school toward the mountains that has at least 20 interns on Bush staff.

So yes this seems to be the most backward state there is. I thought alabama, louisiana and others were.....but it seems we win the prize.

During the debates about San Fran, I called our Fed State Senators and wrote them. They sent back notes that they would vote the way they believed. It had nothing to do with representation. These people would be like talking to the freepers along the route for the Womens March in DC. They can not hear.

Yes they want to drive homesexuals out of the state.
