[SUBJECT] Please oppose Petition 432!
I live in Winchester, VA and I oppose Petition 432.
This petition is not about locker rooms. The Board of Health has no business labeling
groups of people harmful based on who they are.
There are real public health issues facing women and girls in Virginia: domestic violence, maternal health, and poverty. Don’t let this narrow minded petition distract from your important mission to protect the health and promote the well-being of ALL people in Virginia.
There is a nationwide effort by some politicians and interest groups to force transgender people and LGBTQ+ people out of public life. These political attacks harm us all, whether we’re gay or straight, transgender or not, because they foster discrimination and distract us from the real problems we face.
Please do what you know to be morally right and responsible. REJECT hatred.
