Every adult should have the freedom to choose the partner of his/her choice, whether heterosexual or homosexual. Providing benefits for heterosexual partners only is a discriminatory policy that denies this freedom to many Virginians.
Homosexual couples deserve the same benefits that everyone else has. It's time for Virginia to enact a new fair and just policy that guarantees equal benefits for all partners, regardless of sexual orientation.
