Why We Support Inclusive Golf Manor
“As a long-time resident and community activist in the Village of Golf Manor, I encourage a "YES" vote on Issue 10 in the upcoming election. I had the opportunity to be a part of the discussion around this issue as a former member of the Executive Committee, and believe that this Ordinance provides the consideration and inclusiveness that all Village residents should expect and deserve. Please vote "YES" on Issue 10.
Be safe. Be well.”
—Golf Manor resident and former Executive Committee member Gwen Boggs
“
This is a historic moment for the Village of Golf Manor and one that I am proud to support as the Mayor.
It’s an honor to have a consequential role in the long arc bending to justice. We can all have that honor voting YES on Issue 10!”
—Golf Manor Mayor Stefan Densmore
“Now more than ever, we need to come together and ensure that every member of our community has the opportunity to succeed. Let's vote Yes on 10 and keep this ordinance in place to show that Golf Manor and Hamilton County are fair and welcoming to all.”
—Hamilton County Commissioner Denise Driehaus
“The Bible begins with the fundamental understanding that each of us is created in the divine image. Each of us has inestimable value, and each of us deserves to be treated fairly and with respect. We are taught to love our fellow as ourselves and that our world should be a place where each person should be able to sit under their vine or fig-tree with none to make them afraid. I am honored to support Golf Manor as they work to bring fairness and respect to all. “
—Rabbi Moshe Smolkin, Senior Rabbi of Adath Israel Congregation
“Throughout my career, I have been committed to ensuring that everyone has an equal opportunity to live, work, play, and pray in their community, no matter who they are. That's why I support Golf Manor's nondiscrimination ordinance, and that's why I support voting Yes on 10 for continued equality and inclusion in Golf Manor.”
—State Senator Cecil Thomas
Golf Manor is home to two different arts organizations, the Cincinnati Circus Company and the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, as well as many businesses, their employees, and the residents. There is a great deal of diversity within these people as a whole, and yet we come together as a community. Each person is different, but with a common promise that has been guaranteed by our Constitution and is established in our Declaration of Independence—that all people are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Golf Manor has set forth to establish legislation, following the direction of the Constitution, to put forward into modern times that inalienable rights are extended to all people of all orientations, beliefs, races, and genders.
—Cincinnati Circus Company owner Dave Willacker
