Struggling for Equality: The Progress of GLBT Rights in OhioNovember 10, 2009 (12:10 PM - 3:10 PM) Saxbe Auditorium, Drinko Hall Lynne Bowman, Executive Director of Equality Ohio, and Tara McKenzie Allison, Chief Legal Counsel for TransOhio, will discuss the history and progress of GLBT rights in Ohio. Fueled by the passage of Issue 1 on November 2, 2004, grassroots activists, organizational leaders and business representatives from around Ohio decided to join forces to make the Buckeye State a place that treats each citizen equally in the interpretation of its civil law. The result of their hard work was Equality Ohio. TransOhio was formed in 2007 as an organization whose primary focus is to help Ohio transgender people to have a better life by providing easy access to services, programs, education and information. http://mcc.osu.edu
