West Virginia To Get Civil Unions?
A civil union bill has been introduced in West Virginia:
Delegate John Doyle says he introduced the bill Thursday to start a conversation about family equality. The Jefferson County Democrat says that gay and lesbian couples should have the same safety net to deal with the death of a parent or the loss of a job as married couples.
Fairness WV, which advocates on behalf of the gay, lesbian and transgender community, says this is the first time a civil union bill has been introduced in the West Virginia Legislature.
An LGBT anti-discrimination bill also introduced by Doyle has seen no movement since its introduction.
I kind of doubt he will have much luck moving this one through the legislature either , sad as that is . This is another one of those Fucking backwards southern States that is steeped in Religious Fervor and Stupidity . I Wish him Luck though , and Thank him for bringing the issue into the discusion Forums ! God knows they need it , DESPERATELY !
@WilliamMeemken I’m just happy to see someone trying and someone who it’s a knuckledragger!
