ACTION ALERT: House Committee Considers Bill Targeting Bathrooms, Schools, and Businesses

The Ohio House Government Accountability and Oversight Committee will be hearing testimony on a bill on Wednesday January 31 at 9:30 a.m. that would punish schools, ministries, businesses and families that don’t want to allow biological men in women’s restrooms, locker rooms, and domestic violence shelters.

The largest and most powerful businesses in Ohio are backing this bill to bully churches, businesses, and families. THIS BILL NEEDS TO BE STOPPED!

This bill is not about equal rights, but special rights. All Ohioans have rights under our Constitution, but H.B. 160 would carve out special rights for homosexual special interest.

HB 160 elevates “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to protected class status. While everyone opposes discrimination, HB 160 creates a host of problems.

Among the issues, this bill would:

• Require schools, restaurants, Christian ministries, and any public accommodation to allow biological men in women’s restrooms and locker rooms.
• Require businesses participate in same-sex weddings, regardless of the business owner’s religious beliefs.
• Require domestic violence shelters to allow biological men to bathe and bunk with women if the men claim they are women.
• Require public schools allow biological boys in girls locker rooms, dressing rooms, and girls athletics.

Step 1: TAKE ACTION TODAY

CONTACT THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND TELL THEM TO VOTE NO ON H.B. 160

Message
Dear Representative,

Ohio is a tolerant and diverse state. HB 160 however, creates division and special rights that will infringe on the rights of others.

This legislation violates the privacy and safety rights of women and children, and unnecessarily eliminates religious freedoms.

Please oppose HB 160 today.

Thank you
