Bob Marshall on Civil Rights

Republican Senate challenger


Blocked gay judge's nomination

Allen distanced himself from the rest of the field on whether a homosexual could serve as a judge. All four denounced activist judges, but only Allen said a person's sexual orientation should not be a factor in determining qualification for the bench. "Judges when I look at them, I look at what are their qualifications," Allen said. "Sexual orientation is not a criteria for disqualifying."

But he declined to say whether he supported the successful effort by state Del. Bob Marshall, another Senate candidate, to block a gay Richmond prosecutor from a district judgeship earlier this month. "It's funny, I didn't hear an answer from our colleague," Marshall said. "I've already done it. You've seen it in the papers. It's quite easy to stand here and say you will do and not do things."

Marshall-Newman Marriage Amendment defined one-man-one-woman

In Nov. 2006, 1,329,000 Virginia voters approved the Marshall-Newman Marriage Amendment, despite being significantly outspent by opponents. Marriage between one man and one woman is the most fundamental human relationship, recognizing the equality of mal and female persons, and predates recorded history. Recognizing or granting legal equivalency of same sex unions with one man/one woman marriage would result in the state’s failure to defend marriage as an institution essential to the common good.
