Plaintiffs in Bostic v. Rainey Get Marriage License


Our friends, Tim Bostic and Tony London, who were plaintiffs in the lawsuit challenging Virginia's same-sex marriage ban (i.e, the Marshall-Newman Amendment), get the first marriage license issued to a gay couple in Norfolk at the Clerk's Office of the Norfolk Circuit Court office Monday, Oct. 6, 2014. (Photo by Patrick Wilson | The Virginian-Pilot).  George Schaefer, Clerk of the Norfolk Circuit Court was one of the defendants in Bostic v. Rainey, et al.  

Personally, I find some sweet irony in the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its rejection of the same sex marriage case appeals the day after the hate merchants at The Family Foundation ended its ridiculous 40 day "fast" for marriage.  Maybe Victoria Cobb - Virginia's "queen of mean" - needs to get the message that she and her fellow bigots are on the wrong side of the fight.
