I strongly oppose SB982 which would make it possible to have a casino in Tyson's Corner. Northern Virginia does not have the infrastructure to support this. In addition, it will bring crime and a risk to national security. It's a slippery slope -- local buy-in is essential because the region will suffer the consequences of this addition to our community. It is a dangerous precedent for the General Assembly to circumvent local buy-in. I support HB1681 as it is critical to support non-binary people in our community to have self-expression in all formats, including government documentation.

Welcome to the 21st century. Nonbinaries do indeed exist. It’s time society embraces that.
