HB 385 failed to to advance with a tie vote of 11-11.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Today was a victory for fairness and equality when the House decided that putting transgender people at risk for harassment and discrimination was the wrong direction to take Virginia,&rdquo; said HRC Legal Director Sarah Warbelow. &ldquo;Rather than spending the remaining time in the legislative session on bills that put the community at risk for more discrimination, the House should take up the Senate-passed non-discrimination bills so all Virginians can have a fair chance to earn a living and provide for their families, including LGBT people.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Among those giving testimony today was Andrew Wilson, a brave transgender student and soccer player from Appomattox Regional Governor&rsquo;s school.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If house bill 781 was implemented, I&rsquo;d be forced to use the <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">women<\/a>&rsquo;s facilities and locker rooms,&rdquo; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gayrva.com\/news-views\/transgender-bathroom-bill-killed-in-virginia-house-committee-with-bi-partisan-support\/\" target=\"_blank\">he said. <\/a>&nbsp;&ldquo;This would impact me if I was at away games if people did not know I was <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/offers.cam4tracking.com\/aff_c?offer_id=125&#38;aff_id=2778&#38;source=gfcsb\">trans<\/a>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In April of 2014, the U.S. Department of Education issued <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.ed.gov\/about\/offices\/list\/ocr\/docs\/qa-201404-title-ix.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">guidance<\/a> informing public schools that Title IX protects students against discrimination based on gender identity.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Discrimination based on a person&rsquo;s gender identity, a person&rsquo;s transgender status, or a person&rsquo;s nonconformity to <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> stereotypes constitutes discrimination based on <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a>,&rdquo; the U.S. Department of Justice explained. &ldquo;As such, prohibiting a student from accessing the restrooms that match his [or her] gender identity is prohibited <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> discrimination under Title IX.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><span data-term=\"goog_1620077632\" tabindex=\"0\">On Sunday<\/span>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.richmond.com\/opinion\/their-opinion\/guest-columnists\/article_93b8d707-0026-506f-be42-cb3fd5053a04.html\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Richmond Times-Dispatch<\/em> <\/a>published an op-ed from HRC&rsquo;s Director of Research and Public Education Jay Brown.
