    • West Virginia civil unions bill introduced

      In West Virginia this week, a delegate introduced a bill that would give same-sex couples the same legal protections as married heterosexual couples. This is the first time such a bill has been introduced in the state’s legislature. 

      Delegate John Doyle says he introduced the bill Thursday to start a conversation about family equality. The Jefferson County Democrat says that gay and lesbian couples should have the same safety net to deal with the death of a parent or the loss of a job as married couples.

      Heyo! We’ll see where this goes .
