Hi all,
I hope that you are enjoying the beautiful fall leaves…we are really fortunate in NEOhio to have such pretty scenery all year, but this is extra nice! Try to get a nice walk in the woods to enjoy the scenery (we all know what’s coming!:)
Ok…lots of info!
First, please join us tomorrow at the Medina Library for OutSupport‘s Transgender information Evening. We are thrilled to welcome James Knapp from TranOhio, Jake Nash from Margie’s Hope, Gio Santiago from Equality Ohio, and Dr. Terry Stancin from MetroHealth, among others, to form a panel to discuss Transgender issues. The public is welcome to this program, so invite any friends or others to come and learn more, and to be a better ally to the trans community!
The Ohio Fairness Act has bipartisan support in BOTH Ohio House and Senate! This is huge! Rep.
