Sen. Sherrod Brown does not mince words about what’s at stake in the November election for LGBTQ+ Ohioans.
Brown cautions that one of the lessons he learned from the fight for reproductive freedom is that no gain of rights is permanent.
On Monday, the three-term senator announced the creation of “LGBTQ+ Ohioans for Sherrod,” a coalition co-chaired by Ohioan Jim Obergefell – whose Supreme Court case legalized gay marriage in the United States – and Columbus City Council President Shannon Hardin, the first out LGBTQ+ individual to hold that position.
Brown’s Republican opponent in November is Bernie Moreno, a former car dealership owner who has shifted his views over the past few years, becoming staunchly anti-LGBTQ+. Obergefell is quick to agree, highlighting that the Ohio legislature is “not representative of the people of Ohio,” choosing to focus on mean-spirited attacks on vulnerable communities rather than working on bills that would make life better for everyone in Ohio.
Still, Brown cautioned that one of the lessons he learned from another fight – the fight for reproductive freedom – is that no gain of rights is permanent.
