VA parents could face abuse charges for not affirming their LGBTQ child under new bill

Virginia parents could face a felony or misdemeanor charge if they do not affirm their child’s sexual orientation and gender identity, according to a state lawmaker with plans to introduce the legislation in Virginia's upcoming legislative session.

Right now, parents’ rights and LGBTQ protections are a big focus in Virginia.

Thousands of students in Virginia have walked out of class protesting Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s newly proposed model policies on the treatment of transgender students at school.

But, Gov. Youngkin argues school districts and school administrators shouldn’t keep parents in the dark about their child’s sexual orientation and gender identities.

“These same progressives in Fairfax County actually believe they should lock parents out of their children’s lives,” Youngkin said at a “parents matter” rally during the beginning of the school year. “They think parents have no right to know what your child is discussing with their teacher or counselor.”

In response to Youngkin’s proposed model policy on the treatment of transgender students at Virginia schools, Democratic Virginia Delegate Elizabeth Guzman plans to take legislative actions.

“The day that Gov. Youngkin wanted to implement this policy, I immediately texted the policy lead of that committee and said, this is how we're going to push back,” Guzman told 7News.

Guzman is a social worker and she’s planning on reintroducing a bill in Richmond that she said would help protect LGBTQ children from their parents and guardians who are not affirming of their child’s sexual orientation and gender identity.

Her bill would expand the state’s definition of child abuse and neglect to include parents who do not affirm their child’s gender identity or sexual orientation.

Bizarro world.  All moonbats should be either locked up permanently where they can't harm others or euthanized.

The woman is a loon, and needs to be, not only kicked to the curb, shot to the moon!
Right where she belongs.

She remarkably shut her mouth the day after. Seems somebody told her...'hey...we got midterms comin' up so put a sock in it'. LOL She said she was rethinking it.

Amazing how some get an enlightenment just as soon as they get told by the right people to shut their yaps.

The woman is still sick and twisted. She warrants keeping a close eye on her.

I don't know about y'all but i am astounded at the things going on in Virginia...the Mother of presidents...eight of them. The state has gone freakin' insane. Even down to locally.
