[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Don't let anyone worry you about Virginia. Northern Virginia is extremely diverse and highly educated. Even Richmond has a very lively LGBTQ community. The only backwards people in Virginia live far away in the sticks and don't have much clout in political issues anymore.[/quote] That is not quite true. The Dems want to repeal the state constitution amendment that bans gay marriage (even though its a dead letter) and don't have the votes in the general assembly to do it. On other issues, it is still unlawful for a local govt to move a confederate monument (that MAY change this session, but don't hold your breath) Medicaid expansion barely got through. The right is not dominant in the GA the way it used to be, but still has clout. [/quote]
