Virginia governor GOP candidate Ken Cuccinelli launches website that pushes for reinstatement of state’s anti-sodomy law

The conservative Republican candidate for Virginia governor has begun advertising his efforts to reinstate an archaic and unconstitutional state law that make consensual oral or anal sex acts illegal.

Ken Cuccinelli, locked in a tight race for Virginia’s top office, launched a new campaign website Wednesday that showcases his attempts to bring back the state’s “Crimes Against Nature” law, which was struck down by federal courts earlier this year.

The law makes consensual oral or anal sex acts felonies, even for married couples who commit the acts in the privacy of their own homes.

Cuccinelli’s new site, vachildpredators.com, highlights 90 people identified as “sexual predators” in Virginia who “would come off Virginia’s sex offender registry if a Virginia law … is not upheld.”
