This is unreal
I just left the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing at the Ohio Statehouse, and there is something you’ve got to see.
The Committee was hearing proponent testimony on SB 11, the Sexual Orientation/Gender Identity bill. We’ve been telling you all about the dangers of the bill – how it will shut down Christian ministries, force girls to compete against boys in public school sports, and require that biological men be allowed to bathe and bunk with women in homeless shelters.
We knew that powerful special interests were at work pushing this bill – but there were over 200 signed up to testify to force this dangerous legislation on Ohio. I’ve put the entire list below. See it for yourself…
This is truly a David v. Goliath situation.
Citizens for Community Values is leading the charge to oppose this bill – and we need your help to protect basic religious freedom and common decency in Ohio.
First and foremost, through prayer – but also through financial support.
We stand opposed to some of the deepest pockets in Ohio on this legislation. We need your help to ensure Ohio remains a state where Christians are free to go to work, raise their families, and serve in ministry.
Together, we can stop this harmful bill.
God bless,
Aaron Baer
