probably made a mistake in that one."
Curiously, Republicans, who have in recent
years increasingly utilized the word
"libertarian” in their proclamations, have
shown some hostility to what would seem like
a simple victimless crime.
“The law’s a hot potato,” Northern Virginia
legislator Karen Darner said, “Most of my
colleagues agree in private that the law's
absurd, but they don’t want to be caught
saying that publicly.”
Perhaps everyone’s just following the lead
of the founding fathers. After all, Virginia got its
sodomy law (complete with death penalty) in
1792, and no less a man than Charlottesville
hero Thomas jefferson wrote that the
appropriate penalty was castration.
Recent History;
Crimes against nature just won’t die
• 1999: Karen Darner’s (D-Arlington) bill that
would decriminalize consensual sodomy is
introduced and tabled in the Courts of
justice Committee.
• 2000: Darner submits a watered-down
version of the above bill, reducing the
penalty for “crimes against nature,”
excluding bestiality, between consenting
adults from a Class 6 felony to a Class 4
misdemeanor. It narrowly slips out of the
Courts of Justice Committee by a single vote.
Two days later, it is passed by the full House,
again by a single vote, with local notables
Paul Harris and Creigh Deeds voting against
and Mitch Van Yahres voting for the
measure. Then thrown into a Senate
committee, the bill is killed on a 9-6 vote.
• 2001: Darner lets other legislators lead the
way. Brian j. Moran (D-Alexandria), gets a
watered-down bill into the Courts of Justice
Committee, but it gets shot down 13-9.
Meanwhile, Robert H. Brink (D-Arlington),
tries to introduce a watered-down bill,
which Republican leaders assign not to its
usual Courts of Justice Committee but to
the Militia and Police Committee, which
tables it.
' 2002: Darner says that in an effort to win its
passage, she’ll introduce another even-
more-watered-down version (stiffer
misdemeanor penalties) of the bill, and
she’s hoping for cosponsorship by Arlington
[sici Republican Delegate Jim Dillard. Fellow
delegate Brink says he too may offer a
similar bill.
