The sexual orientation or sexual identity of any Virginian should not be a factor in employment, adoption procedures, accommodations, or access to marriage rights. I will work with other legislators in banning discrimination toward LGBT citizens in Virginia's state employment and public accommodations. I will work toward repealing Virginia's constitutional amendment that banned marriage equality so that a loving relationship can become a legally committed one between any two people, regardless of genders. Virginia is losing out on tremendous talent from those who do not find Virginia a friendly environment for their families.
