LGBTQ+ ISSUES
-
Elizabeth will fight to build an inclusive Virginia in which everyone can thrive, no matter who we are or who we love. As a social worker and even within her own extended family, Elizabeth has seen LGBTQ+ children rejected by their parents or other relatives.
-
That’s why Elizabeth introduced and is continuing to work on legislation to expand the definition of child abuse to include bullying a child based on gender identity or sexual orientation.
-
Elizabeth also introduced a bill to require state employees to complete a LGBTQ+ cultural competence training. The bill, which was expanded into a broader diversity training bill, is now law.
