    Virginia passed a law adding sexual orientation and gender identity to its non-discrimination laws. This law was challenged and stuck down by citing a supreme court case (I think the one about a cake, but not sure) that said it infringed on the speech of the religious person.

    As for how far it goes, good question. When the supreme court case ruled on that there was a lot of fear that it would lead to further discrimination around the country - it seems to be true so far.
