Ohio has become the latest state to require students to use bathrooms and other private, single-sex spaces that correspond to their sex instead of their self-declared gender identity amid pushback to LGBT ideology that has permeated society.

Ohio's Republican Gov. Mike DeWine signed Senate Bill 104 into law last Wednesday. As explained in a statement released by DeWine's office, the legislation implements “the Protect All Students Act regarding single-sex bathroom access in primary and secondary schools and institutions of higher education.”

DeWine's approval of the measure follows its passage in the Republican-controlled Ohio House of Representatives in a 60-31 vote and its clearance in the Republican-controlled Ohio Senate in a 24-7 vote. The votes on the legislation came down largely along party lines, with most votes in opposition to the bill coming from Democrats and all votes in favor of it coming from Republicans. Two House Republicans joined all House Democrats in voting against the legislation.
