Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signs bill to restrict bathroom access for transgender students - midwest.social

I’m sorry to all the trans people who live in Ohio and might visit here that have to deal with our shitty politicians. From the article: The new law will require K-12 and college students at public and private schools to use bathrooms and locker rooms that match their sex assigned at birth. It also bans multi-occupancy gender neutral restrooms and prevents transgender students from sharing overnight accommodations with peers of the same gender.

Of interest is that Coy was out on bond, which was revoked after the guilty verdict. The FOP and the defense lawyer both think that it’s unreasonable for an officer to know a suspect has a weapon before shooting them.

Ohio transgender candidate disqualified for only including legal name, not former name, on petitions

Ohio transgender candidate disqualified for only including legal name, not former name, on petitions - midwest.social

Ohio actually has a law that says if you legally change your name within the last 5 years, it has to be on the petition. In the article it mentions that there is no place for a previous name (dead name in this instance) on the petition, and the Secretary of State’s candidate guide doesn’t mention this requirement at all. I wonder if a recently-married woman would run afoul of this law or if they’d simply look the other way.

Ohio Senate votes to approve changes to the marijuana law. DeWine urges bill's passage - Ohio Capital Journal

Looks like the Senate bill has gotten better. There is some good and some bad. They’re cutting back on home grow and max potency for extracts. They’re expunging all convictions on possession of 2.5oz or less, and I think most importantly, allowing people to buy from medical dispensaries for recreational use. Right now, it’s legal to possess, but illegal to sell. This should fix that loophole.
