But the people have a right to know!!

Virginia Attorney General (and gubernatorial candidate) Ken Cuccinelli petitioned a federal court in an attempt to get a reversal on the ruling that Virginia's "Crimes Against Nature" law is unconstitutional.

The "Crimes Against Nature" law bans oral and anal sex between consenting adults. 

Cuccinelli has been outspoken in his belief that gay sex is "unnatural" and that laws should be in place to prohibit it, though he's been pretty silent on whether or not he objects to a little oral action between men and women.

More and more states may be (thankfully) adding new, vital protections for members of the LGBT community on a nearly weekly basis, but let us not forget that not all is legal for the gay community.
