Tomorrow is the day I have the meeting with my Mayor of Lorain about prohibiting and condemning conversion therapy! We need to protect our #LGBTQIA+ youth from this dangerous “practice”… even if it’s city to city! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ #FreshResists
Getting documents and other ordinances from other Ohio cities ready to present to my mayor for tomorrow. Even if this saves one life and shows someone that they matter and deserve to be who they are, then I’ll be more than happy! 💙🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
The meeting to prohibit and condemn conversion "therapy" went well. But not as I hoped...
There will be complications. It was said that it may, or may not come to a vote. You know what I say to that? The lives of our #LGBTQIA+ youth need to be protected! #FreshResists (1/6) 🧵
On November 7th a resolution came to city council. It was to affirm support for an individual's right to make basic, fundamental choices about their own reproductive health. (Not sure if it was passed yet)
One councilmember voted no, due to religious reasons. (2/6) 🧵
But first, that councilmember voted yes by accident because there was a motion to reconsider his vote.
My Mayor had implied that, that same councilmember might have an issue with the ordinance that would prohibit and condemn conversion therapy. (3/6) 🧵
