TELL HOUSE LEADERS:
LGBT VIRGINIANS MUST BE TREATED FAIRLY UNDER STATE LAW

In this day and age, it’s shocking to learn that Virginians are fired from their jobs, evicted from their homes, and turned away from places like restaurants, shops and even doctor’s offices because they’re LGBT.

That's why we're calling on the General Assembly to pass bipartisan, commonsense laws to protect LGBT Virginians from discrimination in employment, housing, and public spaces.

Join us: Contact the incoming House leaders—Speaker Designee Filler-Corn, Delegate Herring and Delegate Sullivan—and urge them to support statewide LGBT nondiscrimination protections in 2020.

We just need a little information from you to connect you with your state delegate and senator.

Custom target for Speaker Designee Del. Filler-Corn.

Subject: Please support LGBT nondiscrimination protections

Message:

Dear Speaker Designee Filler-Corn, Congratulations on being elected Speaker Designee. And thank you so much for your previous support of Equality Virginia and the push to enact LGBT nondiscrimination protections. I'm writing to you today to again advocate for those protections. It's shocking to learn that in this day and age, Virginians are being fired from their jobs, evicted from their homes, and turned away from places like restaurants, shops and even doctor’s offices because they’re LGBT. That’s because Virginia is one of 30 states where state law doesn’t explicitly protect all LGBT people from discrimination. I'm urging you to fix that this upcoming legislative session by enacting legislation that would update state law to protect all LGBT Virginians from discrimination. These state protections matter, because under federal law anti-LGBT discrimination isn’t expressly prohibited, like discrimination is prohibited based on someone’s race, sex or religion. LGBT people are our friends, neighbors, family, and coworkers. When it comes to being able to earn a living, having a place to live, or being served by a business or government office, they should be treated like anyone else and not be discriminated against. I hope that you'll take up this important cause in 2020. Thank you.

Dear Delegate Herring, Congratulations on being elected Majority Leader! And thank you so much for being a constant support of Equality Virginia and LGBT nondiscrimination protections. I'm writing to urge you to make LGBT nondiscrimination protections a priority again next year.

Custom target for Caucus Chair Designee Del. Sullivan.

Subject: Please support LGBT nondiscrimination in 2020

Message:

Dear Delegate Sullivan, Congratulations on being elected Caucus Chair. And thank you so much for your previous support of Equality Virginia and the push to enact LGBT nondiscrimination protections. I'm writing to you today to again advocate for those protections. Our state is at its strongest when we’re all free to work hard, earn a decent living and go about our lives without fear of discrimination. If you agree, I'm urging you to enact legislation that would update state law to protect all LGBT Virginians from discrimination. Right now, Virginians can be fired from their jobs, evicted from their homes, and turned away from places like restaurants, shops and even doctor’s offices because they’re LGBT. That's because Virginia is one of 30 states where state law doesn’t explicitly protect all LGBT people from discrimination. These state protections matter, because under federal law anti-LGBT discrimination isn’t expressly prohibited, like discrimination is prohibited based on someone’s race, sex or religion. We've always valued fairness in Virginia. When it comes to being able to earn a living, having a place to live, or being served by a business or government office, our LGBT neighbors should be treated like anyone else and not be discriminated against. I hope that you'll take up this important cause in 2020. Thank you.
