John, Our number one priority is to make sure all LGBT Virginians can go about their daily lives without fear. Right now, LGBT Virginians can be fired, evicted, or denied service in public places like restaurants and shops, just because of who they are or who they love. Because under Virginia law, LGBT people are not explicitly protected from discrimination. We want a brighter future for our LGBT friends, family members, coworkers, and neighbors - and we know you do, too. Join us for the Virginia Values Forum on Thursday, September 26, 2019 to learn more about how we can create a Virginia that reflects our shared values of fairness, dignity, and respect. The Virginia Values Forum will feature advocates, faith leaders, and legal experts who will talk about what it will mean for LGBT Virginians to go about their daily lives without the fear of discrimination. If you can't attend in-person, you can still stream the forum from the comfort of your home. When you RSVP, simply select "digitally/remote" so that we can email you the streaming details. - All of us at Equality Virginia | |
