Weekend Happenings in Hampton Roads

Here's some of "what's happening" in Hampton Roads this weekend with the Commonwealth Coalition and The People Of Faith For Equality.

The Christian Right has succeeded in getting Question #1 on the ballot to make their definition of family part of the Virginia Constitution.

No civil unions.

No health care benefits for domestic partners.

No protection from violent domestic abusers if you aren't married.

If this isn't the Virginia you want to live in, join People of Faith for Equality in Virginia and the Commonwealth Coalition as our date for:
