[quote=Anonymous]One thing to consider is LGBTQ protections. We moved to MoCo many years ago after looking in both Arlington & MoCo (wanted close in suburb, good schools). We laughingly talked about the red state vs blue state issue but likely would've moved to either had we found a house we liked better. Fast forward 15 years & our child is queer. MUCH better protections in MD state law for LGBTQ kids, + more progressive legislators in MoCo/MCPS. Was a long battle (see here: https://pflag.org/sites/default/files/Curriculum%20Victory%20in%20Montgomery%20County%202.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3scCxiXtwClOhQ-zNqX_xsPq43Ql3ziWPBvmaUd9rSwrvnv03u8z6lJnI) but MCPS kids have some protections from zealots trying to promote things like conversion therapy or giving voice to the lie that LGBTQ status = a mental disorder. Really low-hanging fruit type of stuff, & my understanding is that MCPS is way ahead of VA from other parents I know via my child.[/quote]
