The Roanoke Times has this profile on Timothy Bostic and Tony London, who are suing to challenge Virginia's ban on same-sex marriage. They told the newspaper they decided to challenge the ban because they want to get married in the state in which they live: "When other states began changing their marriage laws, London and Bostic briefly considered getting married out of state. 'We did discuss it, but why would we go to Iowa to get married and come home and not be married?' Bostic said," The Roanoke Times further reported.
Their lawyers attorneys Theodore Olson and David Boies, who successfully litigated California’s Proposition 8 case.
