Family Banned from Swimming Pool for Having Two Gay Dads

"On May 15th of this year, Will Trinkle applied for a family membership at the Roanoke Athletic Club. Beyond the personal, obvious reasons that one would have for signing up to a gym, Trinkle had an ulterior motive – he wanted his 2-year-old son, Oliver, to be able to use the facility’s outdoor pool during the summer.

 Nine days later, on May 24th, a representative from Roanoke Athletic Club contacted Trinkle and told him that his application shouldn’t have been approved. Why? Well, because Virginia does not recognize same-sex marriage and, thus, Trinkle’s family didn’t qualify as a real family."
