However, if the Virginia judges rule that their state must abide by the Vermont court’s order, they would be accepting an action premised on the legitimacy of same-sex civil unions.
Virginia not only bans same-sex unions but also prohibits the recognition of any “partnership contract or other arrangement between persons of the same sex purporting to bestow the privileges or obligations of marriage.” It is one of the most restrictive laws in the country.
