Anti-gay bus tour to be opposed at most Ohio stops

by Anthony Glassman

Steubenville, Ohio--The anti-gay Family Research Council?s national bus tour will swing through Ohio in mid-April, with stops in nine cities across the state.

In most of those, Get Equal is coordinating events opposing the ?Values Bus? tour stops by the FRC and the Heritage Foundation.

The first stop is in Steubenville on April 9, followed by Columbus on the April 10.

On the 11th, there will be stops in Fairfield and Cincinnati, followed by Franklin on April 12 and Findley on April 13.

Toledo will have to deal with them on April 14, followed by stops in Westlake and Cuyahoga Falls on April 15.

As of March 27, only the Steubenville and Franklin stops were going unopposed. In Fairfield, the counterprotest will be at 6320 South Gilmore Road at 6 pm; in Cuyahoga Falls, it will be at River Square at 3 pm.

The first two stops will be ?Your Money, Your Values, Your Vote? rallies, while the Cincinnati stop will be a voter registration event at Cincinnati Christian University. In Fairfield, they are calling the stop an ?Empower U Event.?

The Toledo, Cuyahoga Falls and Dayton stops are being linked to the Tea Party, while in Westlake, they will be at Church on the Rise.

According to the bus tour?s website, the Heritage Foundation?s focus will be on a budget plan, while the Family Research Council offers ?Materials on Defending Life, Marriage and Religious Liberty.?

Information about the Cuyahoga Falls protest can be found at the event?s Facebook page, which also lists organizers who can be contacted. It is at www.facebook.com/events/327960333929970.
