What a wonderful Valentine’s Day present! A federal judge in Norfolk struck down Virginia’s ban on same-sex marriage last night, saying it violates the constitution’s guarantee of equal protection. We can’t get married yet because of appeals but we can look forward to marriage equality in Virginia in the future. I think it’s pretty amazing that this is happening in Virginia.

Later this evening Warren and I will be celebrating the victory as well as Valentine’s Day with a special dinner at a local restaurant. What a great day!
