The Senate bill protecting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender state employees from discrimination was killed in subcommittee earlier this month.
In Virginia it is legal to fire or not hire someone based on perceived sexual orientation or gender identity, a prejudice Senate Bill 701 targeted to change within the state code.
Backed by Sens. Donald McEachin, D-Henrico, and Adam Ebbin, D-Alexandria, the bill passed in the Senate last month with a 24-16 vote.
