Equality Ohio is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that advocates for full equality for the LGBTQ community. It is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio.[1][2][3][4] It was founded in 2005 following the passage of Ohio Issue 1, which banned state recognition of same-sex relationships.[1] Equality Ohio's most recent executive director, Sue Doerfer, announced her resignation in November 2010, and was replaced by Ed Mullen, a former candidate for Illinois State Representative and civil rights lawyer from Chicago.[5][6]
In addition to other efforts, Equality Ohio worked for several years toward passing state legislation to prohibit employment or housing discrimination based on sexual orientation.[7]
