MARYS, OH – Representative King recently announced a series of funding allocations aimed at revitalizing and enhancing various community facilities within the district. While these investments are a significant boon for local communities, it is important to recognize the federal role in making these funds available—an acknowledgment notably absent from Rep. King’s announcement.

Celina’s 2023 Small Town Pride — the rural community’s third — was a big win for LGBTQ+ joy and visibility in more politically conservative communities. But behind the scenes, organizers have faced months of ongoing threats of violence, intimidation and online harassment, mostly from white supremacists and anti-LGBTQ+ Christians. On June 24, LGBTQ+ organizers and Small Town Pride attendees posed for a group photo outside the Mercer County Courthouse in Celina, Ohio.

Representative Angie King, I first messaged you over a year ago when you were initially running for office. In that message I asked, “Why should any transgender or gay person consider voting for you? What are your political positions on LGBTQ+ issues?” You didn’t respond. In fact, neither you nor your office have ever responded to a single Facebook message, email or voicemail that I have left for you. But I no longer have to wonder where you stand.

By J. Bennett Guess, ACLU of OhioThe future of LGBTQ+ marriages in Ohio may well depend on the outcome of a little-known August 8 special election, when most people aren’t even expecting an election. Unless we educate and rally our fellow Ohioans to show up and vote against a cruel constitutional amendment, the outcome could seal the fate for citizen-initiated progress forever, including the future issuance of same-sex marriage licenses. This isn’t political hyperbole. This is real.
