At least in part, the resolution seeks to address 'trans-phobia' running rampant in an especially polarizing election year.
Updated: Nov. 05, 2024, 10:37 a.m.On the eve of a polarizing election with "trans-phobia" running rampant, Cleveland Heights council passed a resolution proclaiming the city a "safe haven" for gender-affirming health care.CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio -- In an already hostile state environment compounded by a constant barrage of negative political attack ads against transgender people, City Council on Monday declared the city a “safe haven” for gender-affirming health care.
Meanwhile, the city’s resolution states that “Cleveland Heights will not criminally prosecute or impose administrative penalties under any local law on any person or organization providing, seeking, receiving or assisting gender-affirming health care.” Rubin believes the resolution may provide a starting point for establishing larger “sanctuary cities” in Ohio.
She added that Cleveland Heights should “be defiant and pay attention” to neighboring jurisdictions that may prioritize the enforcement against gender-affirming care, “which may be weaponized and taken away from them.”
