DOMANIA: Virginia

A Virginia House panel unanimously passed a resolution Wednesday urging Congress to propose a constitutional amendment against
gay marriages.

The resolution, sponsored by Delegate Robert G. McDonnell, seeks an amendment defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman. It also would render civil unions between couples of the same sex invalid in
the United States.

McDonnell said the constitutional amendment is needed to stop gay rights activists from changing marriage laws through the courts. He said recent gay rights victories in the Supreme Court and the Massachusetts Supreme Court place Virginia's law banning gay marriages in jeopardy.
