Poll: Should Virginia Allow Gay Marriage?

Weigh in on the debate by taking this Patch poll.

When Fairfax County residents Kären Rasmussen and Barb Brehm tried to apply for a marriage license at the Fairfax County Courthouse on Valentine's Day, the women knew they would be turned away. But that didn't stop hundreds of supporters from demonstrating on the courthouse lawn with them in favor of gay marriage.

And although there were no visible counter-protesters on Tuesday, those against gay marriage spoke out online. Our Patch article drew dozens of comments - both for and against the ban on gay marriage.

Let us know where you fall on the issue by taking our Patch poll. Feel free to elaborate in the comments section below.
