I live in Henrico County and I oppose Action 4905.

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, like domestic

violence, maternal health, and poverty. Don’t let this hateful petition distract from your

important mission to protect the health and promote the well-being of ALL people in

Virginia.

Across our races, backgrounds, and genders, we all deserve to be treated fairly. 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.
