House advances 'Traditional Marriage' license plate

DATELINE The House of Delegates is closer to approving the legend "Traditional Marriage" for specialty license plates despite warnings it could lead to plates celebrating unconventional forms of marriage.

The House today shrugged off an amendment that would have removed the word "Traditional", and advanced the bill for a final vote tomorrow.

Opponents argue that if a traditional marriage license plate is allowed, other viewpoints will have to be given the same forum. They say lawmakers could see requests for "Gay Marriage" or "Marriage Equality" plates.

The first openly homosexual House member, Adam Ebbin of Alexandria, says he was asked to introduce a bill for a "Marriage Equality" plate but refused because he doesn't believe license plates should be a public forum.
