Une victoire historique pour la communauté LGBT: Danica Roem élue en Virginie

Mme Roem est la première transgenre a être élue et elle a déclassé un adversaire qui siégeait depuis 26 ans.

 "The race between Roem and Marshall to represent Virginia's 13th district, which encompasses Prince William County and Manassas Park, had been rooted in ideological opposites.

Marshall had been at odds with LGBT issues and had proposed a state bill in 2015 that would allow anyone who has a license with the state to refuse services to gay people and earlier this year introduced a bill to restrict transgender people's access to public restrooms, CNN local affiliates reported.

During the campaign, Marshall refused to use Roem's correct pronouns."
