Virginia couple files federal lawsuit against gay marriage ban

[Dwayne Hicks]

RICHMOND, Va. — A Norfolk couple is challenging Virginia’s gay marriage ban in federal court, saying that it violates their right to equal protection.

Timothy B. Bostic and Tony C. London say in their lawsuit that they were turned down when they tried to obtain a marriage license at the Norfolk Circuit Court on July 1.

Their lawsuit argues that Virginia’s treatment of gays and lesbians is unequal and deprives them of benefits associated with marriage, including favorable tax treatment, federal Medicaid and Social Security benefits, and naval disability benefits.
