As an FYI: Senator George Allen voted against the bill in the first place.  This is hardly surprising considering his entire campaign support this year seems to be from the religious right.  For all the issues that the Democrats and Libertarians were rallying for at their booths at the beer fest last month, the Republican booth promoting Allen and Wolf were pushing one thing only: "one man one woman".  That's it.

That's right - the entire focus of the Republican party in Virginia is to create institutionalized discrimination at every level possible.  Nothing else matters to them except to express as loudly as they possibly can how much they hate gay people.

Wolf also voted No.

Loudoun has already said NO to not one, but TWO right-wing nutballs in the last two elections - wanna go for two more this year?

Davis voted yes.  Bartlett was the only congressman, either house, from MD who voted no.  anybody surprised?  didn't think so.

Warner voted for the bill, btw, so he's on a reprieve from my ranting for now...

My namesake in the Senate from Alabama voted No, but he's an imbecile for the right, always has been, and I'm not surprised in the slightest...

Bartlett is enough of a nutter that my parents (conservatives) can't even vote for him. Doesn't stop him from getting elected, tho.
