Minors in Ohio would be prohibited from receiving gender-affirming care…and transgender student-athletes would be banned from participating in girls’ and women’s sports…under a multifaceted proposal that cleared the state’s Republican-dominated House in Columbus. The measure folded together two contentious bills that could drastically change the way gay youth live in the state. It has parents of transgender children scrambling to figure out how to care for them as the proposal heads to the GOP-led Senate. These aren’t the first attempts at such proposals by Ohio’s Legislature. A sports ban nearly made it through both the House and Senate last fall, but it fell short after being tacked onto an education overhaul bill that had mixed reviews among GOP legislators.
