This was brought to my attention by an admirer of Creigh Deeds .... What's going on when the ACLU and Senator Larry Craig gather together in a bathroom stall? A policy meeting for Brian Moran for Governor
Roanoke’s Wasena Park [Summer 1999]: Although it had been traditional there to use the "indecency" charge...men arrested in that sting were charged with soliciting the felonies of the "crimes against nature" statute, which is a felony itself. Ten of the men netted in that sting pleaded guilty for conditional sentences in order to challenge the law in court (see PlanetOut News of June 10, 1999). In November, a three-judge panel of the Virginia Court of Appeals quite brusquely rejected their claim, in essence denying they had any standing to challenge the law. That court announced January 22 that its full bench will not review that decision, in part because the three judges had been unanimous. The men’s attorney Sam Garrison said he’ll file an appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court, but that court is by no means bound to take it up. "A new strategy to tackle the Crimes Against Nature law. In addition to sodomy law reform bills in the House and Senate, proposed respectively by [Delegate Brian] Moran and Sen. Patsy Ticer (D-Alexandria), Arlington Del. Karen Darner (D) has filed a bill to reduce the penalty for sodomy to a misdemeanor." Link here: http://www.glapn.org/sodomylaws/usa/virginia/vanews41.htm
"I think the public policy of the Commonwealth should not criminalize behavior between consenting individuals" ---Brian Moran link here: http://www.glapn.org/sodomylaws/usa/virginia/vanews72.htm
Delegate Brian Moran (D-Alexandria), the sponsor of the Virginia bill to decriminalize oral and anal sex acts between consenting adults was rejected by the state House Courts of Justice Committee on January 19, 2001, by a vote of 13 to 9. Solicitation to commit sodomy is a charge commonly brought by police against men cruising other men for sex in public places. Virginia. Del. Brian Moran (D-Alexandria) said, "We have to continue to work on those issues. Well keep bringing them up." Link Here: http://www.glapn.org/sodomylaws/usa/virginia/vanews41.htm
Will Virginian's support Brian Moran for Governor when he supports lessening criminal penalties for participants of gay bathroom sex parties in public parks? Do your children use these bathrooms?
During the 2000 legislative session of the Virginia Genaral Assembly, State Senator Creigh Deeds, Delegate Brian Moran's opponent for the Democratic nomination for Governor, "voted twice—once in committee and once on the House floor—against killing Virginia’s "crimes against nature" statute (section 18.2-361).....Defenders of the law claim enforcement is restricted to the nuisance of sex in parks." link here: http://www.glapn.org/sodomylaws/usa/virginia/vanews89.htm
Brian Moran has a powerful ally on his side in support of his position (aside from Senator Larry Craig). ...it's the ACLU, link here: http://cbs11tv.com/national/Larry.Craig.ACLU.2.631510.html
Net Net for Moran?: "What happens in the public restroom, stays in the public restroom."

You idiots are aware of the fact that there is no law restricting sodomy between consenting adults of the same age anymore in Virginia as an effect of Lawrence v. Texas, right?
You are also aware of the fact that Moran's proposed changes in the legal code would not effect the charge of public indecency, right?
What happen in these cases was that instead of charging someone with public indecency, the prosecutor/police decided to charge them with sodomy, which for some reason or another carries a higher penalty.
There's a moron born every minute that seems to think they're a lawyer...
Thanks Timothy, I am truly flattered. This is a factual statement: Brian Moran supports lessening criminal penalties for participants of bathroom sex parties in public parks from a felony to a misdemeanor.
I'm sorry but this is really a non-issue considering sodomy is completely legal in not just the Commonwealth of Virgina, but in the entire United States of America as mandated by the Supreme Court in their 2003 Lawrence v. Texas ruling. Thus Brian Moran no longer supports anything because the Supreme Court of the United States did it for him by a 6-3 vote, and actually to a greater extent if you consider the fact that Moran just wanted to lower the penalties of a sodomy conviction to a misdemeanor, the Supreme Court nullified any criminal charges for sodomy (a majority opinion that was supported for by two Ronald Reagan appointees). So these laws that Brian Moran wanted to lessen have not even been in existance for coming up on six years this June, and you can thank two Reagan, one Ford, and one Bush appointee for making it so.
