Great news from Loudoun County, despite opposition from homophobic bigots like Del. Dave LaRock (R-HD33)! See below for photos, a statement by Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-VA10), and comments by the State Sen. Jennifer Boysko, Equality Loudoun, the Loudoun County Democrats and Del. Danica Roem (D-Manassas). Nice job by everyone who pushed for this!

From Sen. Jennifer Boysko:
“Proud of Willow Woycke as she testifies for the civil rights for LGBTQ kids at the LCSB meeting tonight. Huge crowd here to stand up and speak out for equality!”

Thank you to the advocates and the 5-4 majority on the Loudoun County School Board who voted to make LCPS more inclusive by adding LGBTQ students & staff to the equal opportunity policy.
In Northern Virginia, we welcome you because of who you are, not despite it.#NoH8 #LoveWins— Danica Roem (@pwcdanica) February 27, 2019
