Legislators Get Proof:Unfair Laws Hurt Ohioans and Families

Columbus - Today Equality Ohio Education Fund distributed copies of their Our Stories documentary to all legislators and the Executive Branch. This 11-minute DVD continues to share the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Ohioans and inspires dialogue about why equal rights are important. The video features Ohioans and families living in Dayton, Strongsville, Columbus, Galloway, and Akron.
