Ohio’s LGBTQ Fight Shifts to 2027

Ohio’s same-sex marriage ban is staying in the state constitution—at least for now. Advocates are shifting strategy, aiming to put the issue on the 2027 ballot instead of this November, hoping to build broader support amid stalled LGBTQ+ protections and rising anti-LGBTQ legislation. While the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015, some still push to revisit it. Meanwhile, lawmakers are advancing bills that restrict drag performances, redefine parental rights around gender identity, and limit bathroom access for transgender people—while bills to expand anti-discrimination laws and protect conversion therapy survivors stall. The fight for equality in Ohio is far from over, and advocates are wisely planning their next move for a future election cycle. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
