Glass City Humanist

19/11/2024

Tonight on Glass City Humanist, I talk about the latest travesty in lawmaking. Ohio passed a bathroom ban against Trans people in public schools and colleges. We need to acknowledge and support the basic dignity and humanity of all people no matter who they wish to identify as or who they love. Bigotry should never be an option. https://toledoradio.org
