Little-known but influential group has Columbus conclave
by Eric Resnick

Columbus--One of the least commonly known but most influential organizations of the LGBT movement held its summer meeting in Columbus earlier this month.

This was the second time the 11-year-old Equality Federation had its annual conclave in Ohio. Ten years ago, a small group, including one of its founders, Mo Baxley of New Hampshire, gathered in some dormitory rooms at Ohio State University.

This year’s event was held at the Columbus Convention Center.

Throughout the four days from August 6 to 10, more than 120 LGBT activists from 34 state organizations and 21 allied groups were represented, making it the largest gathering of leaders of the LGBT movement.

Columbus--Equality Ohio announced its first round of endorsements for Statehouse races after its July board meeting.

Five Ohio House candidates and a Senate one got the nod, and more may come.

In making the recommendations, the group gave strong consideration to candidates’ support of the Equal Housing and Employment Non-Discrimination Act, now in the legislature.

In the Ohio Senate, they endorsed Danielle Blue, a Democrat hoping to represent the 16th District, which encompasses suburbs to the west and south of Columbus.
