I am strongly in favor of the proposal to finally give domestic partnership benefits to Virginia state employees. As a faculty member at the University of Virginia, I find it appalling that these benefits aren't already part of the employee package and I feel it sheds a negative light on the institution as a whole. Virginia is behind the times on this issue and it hurts the state from attracting the best qualified employees.
