Cuyahoga County Human
Rights Commission
Cleveland Tea Party would not have a role to play in, say,
the ongoing targeting of the Colorado baker who won’t produce a cake celebrating gay marriage or transgendering. However, one of the three core Tea
Party values is limited government, and the Cuyahoga County Council is planning
to take it upon itself to further meddle in the lives of residents. Our friends
at Ohio Value Voters sent out the message below (warning: Cringe Alert). Mark
your calendar, make some phone calls, or send messages:
Residents of NE Ohio
Public Testimony
Requested
Wednesday, September
12 at 5:00 PM
The Cuyahoga County Council has
been quietly working on legislation to establish a county-wide "Human Rights Commission"
that will affect every city, resident, business, and church in the
county. The three-person commission is intended to hear ALL cases of
discrimination in Cuyahoga County relative to sexual orientation/gender
identity. LGBT citizens will be provided legal assistance paid for by our
tax dollars. This piece of legislation hurts business, puts our safety at
risk, and punishes people of faith. This ordinance permits
biological men, who consider themselves to be a woman, to enter a woman's
bathroom or locker room in "all places of public accommodation."
On Wednesday, September 12th at
5:00 pm the County Council of Cuyahoga County, Ohio will hear public testimony
against Ordinance No. O2018-0009 sponsored by: County Executive Budish and
Councilmembers Brady, Miller, Houser, and Simon.

Action Item: Tell the council (by phone/email) to
Vote NO on Ordinance No. O2018-0009. Click Here for a list of Phone Numbers/Email Addresses of

Read this article, "How to think about Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
(SOGI) Policies and Religious Freedom," by Ryan T. Anderson
Resource: List of Gender Identities & Pronouns
The above linked Heritage Foundation Article is good but rather
long. I found a shorter article – and it pulls no punches –zeroing in on
“Marxism and Marriage” at American Thinker here.
I also checked the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
which already has jurisdiction over claims related to LGBT; see here. The
Cleveland Field Office website is here; its page for filing a charge of
discrimination is here.
