2024 OH Senate race: on Civil Rights

Frank LaRose: Introduced LGBTQ non-discrimination bill in state senate

State Sen. Frank LaRose, R-Copley, said a "silent majority" of the party supports LGBTQ rights. When he introduced a non-discrimination bill, many of his Republican colleagues pulled him aside to express support. But when he asked for them to cosponsor the bill, they refused. Still, he said, "I see an evolution occurring in my party--and it can't come sooner." Source: Dayton Daily News on 2024 Ohio Senate race Jul 19, 2016
