Thumbs down

yes

§ 18.2-345
Lewd and lascivious cohabitation

If any persons, not married to each other, lewdly and lasciviously associate and cohabit together, or, whether married or not, be guilty of open and gross lewdness and lasciviousness, each of them shall be guilty of a Class 3 misdemeanor; and upon a repetition of the offense, and conviction thereof, each of them shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.

Believe it or not.

Last summer a police dispatcher in North Carolina (where it's also against the law) got fired for living with her boyfriend. Well, actually they did give her a choice--get married, move out or find another job. She choose to find another job.
