Ohioans on Medicaid are excluded from receiving transgender care. Ohio is one of 25 states listed as \u201cHigh Priority to Achieve Basic Equality\u201d for LGBTQ+ people on the 2020 HRC State Equality Index<\/a> \u2013 a comprehensive state-by-state report that provides a review of statewide laws and policies that affect LGBTQ+ people and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Listed below are local and national resources with programs serving SOGI adults and their families, friends and allies. Links are provided which target specific needs and conveniently take you directly to the optimal place on the affiliate\u2019s website. Each section also includes suggestions for books and articles related to these topics. This list is by no means exhaustive. If you\u2019ve had a positive experience with a website or provider, please email us with information and reasons you would recommend them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4.3% of Ohio adults (about 389,000) are on the LGBTQ+ spectrum. 30% (age 25+) are raising children. 5% of the Ohio workforce (about 298,000) is LGBTQ+. In Ohio, it is legal to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people in employment, housing, and public accommodations. The Ohio Fairness Act, which would make such discrimination illegal, has been introduced every legislative session since 2011 but has never passed. Thirty-two Ohio cities and one Ohio county have local antidiscrimination ordinances governing sexual orientation and gender identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Individuals, businesses, and service providers are encouraged to contact us<\/a> about training and other collaborative opportunities. Geauga SOGI partners with regional and national LGBTQ+ organizations who have completed research and well-developed curriculums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many Ohio faith-based organizations from diverse religious traditions openly accept and affirm LGBTQ+ individuals and are actively working for nondiscrimination protections.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDid You Know?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
