YES! This is needed *NOW*
 

I believe that the time to offer Virginia "domestic partners" no matter their sexual orientation is important.  My dad and his girlfriend lived together in a committed relationship for over 13 years before finally being forced to marry in order to gain access to specific benefits that would have otherwise been able to be afforded to them through these changes which are being proposed.

I feel that fairness and equality belongs to all of the residents of Virginia and I hope that I'm not the onl one.
