Yesterday was the first time in Ohio's history that a vote took place in the Statehouse to protect the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
The Equal Housing and Employment Act will prevent people from being fired or denied housing because of their sexual orientation or gender identity or expression.
It now has a chance of becoming law, thanks to 8 of the 13 Statehouse committee members who voted yes. Equality Ohio and ProgressOhio would like to thank those 8 members for supporting equal housing and employment rights for all of us.
Let them know you'll help them in the fight for equal rights.
Take a minute to sign this letter of thanks which we'll deliver to them.
