Harris Miller on Civil Rights

Supports civil unions; opposes constitutional ban

Q: Virginia's ban on gay marriage--are you going to vote for it?

WEBB: No, I'm not. It is a bad amendment. The second paragraph is extremely vague.

Q: Are you for gay marriage?

WEBB: I am for civil unions and I'm opposed to the amendment.

Q: Are you for civil unions?

MILLER: I support civil unions and I also oppose the amendment. This is the first time Virginia's have ever considered an amendment which would limit the rights of individuals. It is a bad idea and I oppose it.
