| Description | The Ohio Civil Rights Commission has affirmed that the agency will enforce Bostock v. Clayton County and other court interpretations which protect individuals on the basis of sexual orientation and/or gender identity. However, due to HUD no longer enforcing its interpretation on Bostock, there is no state law or court decisions that has made LGBTQ+ housing discrimination illegal in Ohio at-large. |
