Robert Gerald Marshall is an American businessman, author, and former politician who was a Republican member of the Virginia House of Delegates representing the 13th District. His district included portions of Prince William and Loudoun counties. Self-described as Virginia's "chief homophobe," he was known for sponsoring the Marshall-Newman Amendment prohibiting same-sex marriage and an unsuccessful bathroom bill proposal. In the November 7, 2017, general election, Marshall was defeated by nine percentage points by Democrat Danica Roem, the first openly transgender candidate elected to a state legislature in the United States.
