> Between this, Ohio's shameful anti-LGBTQ laws

Which ones specifically? I’d like to learn more and this is something that I’ll pester my representative about. For Columbus specifically in day-to-day life I’m curious what effect these laws have. We have gay clubs and actually a reputation as a “gay mecca”. In Columbus we also have the doo-dah parade, a gigantic, corporate sponsored gay pride parade, and lots of drag events like during our big Halloween party.

> and the truly awful racism

Eh you can find racism in all 50 states, California included. People say this but it’s just the news talking that’s coloring your opinion.

Ohio passed a law to prevent trans folks from changing their legal gender; a federal court has struck this down, but I'm not sure where that stands.

They also have laws that allow medical providers to refuse treatment to LGBTQ.

This is just from a few moments on Google; there's a wiki article with more info: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Ohio

Why would a mentally disordered person be allowed to dictate his own treatment? That is ludicrous.

Regardless of your political stance on the matter, this is off topic. You should ask yourself why you feel compelled to thrust this subject here.
