"Gays and lesbians are angry and even threatening to leave the state over a new law that will prohibit civil unions and could interfere with contracts between same-sex couples."

Now, to isolate just this little snippet of an article heavily pregnant with controversial issues, I'd say that Gays and Lesbians leaving the State is exactly what supporters of such legislation want. Gays are very much a social minority, and I seriously doubt that leaving is going to do much to harm Virginia's economy in the long run. So, gay couples leave, small-minded busy-bodies dance for joy around their cowboy hats. Battle won. Scratch one for sexual bigotry.
