Recently, Judge RoseMarie Annunziata, who lives in Fairfax Station, and serves on the VA Court of Appeals, almost did not get re-appointed by the General Assembly because of an opinion she wrote in favor of a lesbian mother who had a long and good track record as primary caretaker, and did not expose the child to her exercising her sexual orientation. My guess is that every judge on the Fairfax bench would have ruled the same way, and that, as far as I know, every judge in Arlington, Alexandria, even Prince William and Loudoun would have ruled the same way, too. Maybe a few would rule against a lesbian who was the primary caretaker of a well-adjusted child, I could be totally wrong about that, but that's my guess. I believe that the same judges would rule against a heterosexual woman who had a history of exposing the children to a series of live-in lovers and a track record of instability. I don't go anywhere else in Virginia but my guess is that the opposite would be true, most would prefer an unstable heterosexual woman with a long series of lovers and a chaotic environment for the children to a stable homosexual woman with a long track record of raising stable, well-adjusted children.
