@GavinGrimmVA I've been eyeball deep in focusing on my business expansion, so I haven't been able to be engaged with what's happening in my own backyard.

[Gavin Grimm (SEP) @GavinGrimmSEP]

This could be a very serious situation for Hanover County LGBTQ students. The school board is considering having an anti-trans hate group review it's trans affirming policies. Stop this in it's tracks. Act now so that this threat to LGBTQ young people is over before it starts.

[Gavin Grimm (SEP) @GavinGrimmSEP]

It never fails that in the most (self proclaimed) progressive media it's still totally cool with most of society to make fun of fat people.

🚨ATTN: SB 766 to ban trans kids in Virginia from participating in sports has just dropped.

Let's be clear: This is part of an ongoing, nationwide effort to exclude trans people from enjoying the benefits of sports like their cisgender peers. We won't tolerate this.

[Gillian Branstetter @GBBranstetter]

Any "debate" over trans rights is, at this point, completely ahistorical. There are states in the US now into their *fourth decade* enforcing trans-inclusive civil rights laws. Renee Richards played women's tennis 50 years ago. We have a century of research into our health care.

In the wake of his historic win for trans rights, @GavinGrimmVA faced a different challenge: housing insecurity. But thanks to community action, he may soon have a stable home to call his own. @cohaug reports:

BREAKING: We filed 1st pattern/practice suit against a Va. law enforcement agency to stop discrimination & unconstitutional policing. Suit is against Town of Windsor, whose arrest of Lt. Nazario was captured on video. Our investigation uncovered big racial disparities & problems.

[Whittney Evans @WhittneyE]

Just in: Virginia Attorney General @AGMarkHerring is suing the town of Windsor for a pattern of unconstitutional and discriminatory policing. @myVPM

[ACLU of Virginia @ACLUVA]

FACT: 65% of Virginia voters believe that people who’ve served their time should be given the opportunity to vote.

RT if you are one of them.

@GavinGrimmVA My brother is in the same situation

@GavinGrimmVA Wish I could do more

Once again a Virginian school chooses cruelty and discrimination instead of creating a safe school environment for trans kids. They lost before and they'll lose again.

A wonderful update, shared by request! Donald and Sayquanna are both still housed through the holiday season. They have both found employment but need some help with either a bus pass or fare, failing the amount needed for a pass. Please share and donate to (($))donaldrgraham
