> Between this, Ohio's shameful anti-LGBTQ laws
Which ones specifically? I’d like to learn more and this is something that I’ll pester my representative about. For Columbus specifically in day-to-day life I’m curious what effect these laws have. We have gay clubs and actually a reputation as a “gay mecca”. In Columbus we also have the doo-dah parade, a gigantic, corporate sponsored gay pride parade, and lots of drag events like during our big Halloween party.
> and the truly awful racism
Eh you can find racism in all 50 states, California included. People say this but it’s just the news talking that’s coloring your opinion.
- QuercusMax 5y agoOhio passed a law to prevent trans folks from changing their legal gender; a federal court has struck this down, but I'm not sure where that stands. They also have laws that allow medical providers to refuse treatment to LGBTQ. This is just from a few moments on Google; there's a wiki article with more info: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Ohio https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Ohio
- 0xedd 5y agoWhy would a mentally disordered person be allowed to dictate his own treatment? That is ludicrous. https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/gender-dysphoria/what-is-gender-dysphoria https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/gender-dysphori... Regardless of your political stance on the matter, this is off topic. You should ask yourself why you feel compelled to thrust this subject here.
