Edward Barnes was interviewed by The Washington Post and quoted on Sunday, December 18, 2005, regarding the possible legal implications of Virginia's Affirmation of Marriage Act. Mr. Barnes stated "I would eschew the word 'safe' for the moment, contracts such as wills and medical directives aren't really marital documents, and therefore, the law doesn't appear to be aimed at them. But because the law has not been tested in court, he is advising his gay clients to craft paperwork that plays down any romantic connection to their partners--the opposite of what he told them before the new law passed. For now, gays and lesbians need to seek out expert legal help and pray that their documents can withstand any potential legal challenge. Since there's been no interpretation of this law, no one could give an ironclad guarantee that wills and medical directives won't be affected."
