The Virginia Values Act establishes gender identity and sexual orientation as protected
classes under anti-discrimination statutes, meaning that businesses and individuals can no
longer deny service, housing, employment, or credit on the basis of one’s LGBTQ status. The bill also includes language that allows the state’s Attorney General to take action in civil court if they notice a particular person or business “engaged in a pattern or practice of resistance” to civil rights protections (including but not limited to sexual orientation and gender identity). While the bill isn’t quite law yet — it needs to flip chambers and then be signed into law by Democratic Governor Ralph Northam — the legislation is considered a safe bet. Northam has expressed his wholehearted approval.
