The Hobby Lobby-funded coalition's goal is to overturn Obergefell.
Alex Bollinger at LGBTQ Nation:
The organization “Them Before Us” – part of the “Greater Than” anti-marriage equality campaign – installed a homophobic billboard in Lima, Ohio, that reads “No child has two dads, no child has two moms.” “What bothers me about it is a child that sees this sign, and either asks their parent and gets either the hate-filled version… or they have to be explained why people feel this way… and children have enough issues they have to deal with,” Jeff Givan, a Democratic candidate for the Ohio House of Representatives, told WTVG. “It just really astounds me that people can put things up that stir up so much hate.” The billboard includes a link to the website for Them Before Us, which claims that LGBTQ+ couples buy and sell children and lack the ability to self-sacrifice and the responsibility necessary to be parents, while also saying that children are the property of “their biological mother and father.”
The anti-LGBTQ+ extremist organization Them Before Us installed a billboard in Lima, Ohio featuring a homophobic and bigoted message entitled “No child has two dads, no child has two moms.
There’s a kind of quiet magic in a small-town fall morning, the kind that doesn’t shout for attention but instead glows softly, like a secret only early risers get to share. Lima, Ohio woke up slow today, wrapped in mist and amber light, the air crisp enough to remind you that change is coming but gentle enough to make you linger outside a little longer. At Faurot Park, one towering autumn tree caught the sunrise just right, its leaves igniting into a mix of gold and tangerine, as if the branches themselves were catching fire in the calm morning air. Moments like this are why autumn feels less like a season and more like a quiet invitation to breathe, wander, and notice the ordinary things that turn extraordinary with a little sunlight.
I captured that feeling in this photograph below. No rush, no drama, just nature doing what it does best: reminding us to slow down and pay attention. Lima might not always make the travel lists, but mornings like this? They’re proof that beauty doesn’t need a headline to matter. 🍂✨

14 years too late - but I just learned of the adorable KewPee burgers in Lima Ohio. Now I want to go back in time and read fanfiction about the New Directions hanging out there …. and maybe have Kurt Hummel getting a job.
Look at how adorable!

she’s actually autistic and not self diagnosed
she struggles a lot with her identity and is one constant ball of confusion all the time
epitome of a bimbo (the good kind ofc)

her singing gets better with the help of marley and mercedes and it makes her ever so happy
she hates rachel. absolutely hates her for no reason
she has a MASSIVE superiority complex (technically this is canon but my brain expands on it, so i’m calling it a hc.)
she’s never dated anyone but she’s had nonsexual flings
will beat anyone’s ass to protect her friends (namely marley, mercedes, and artie)
her and mercedes (and also jake) are the best of friends in case you haven’t noticed
she “fights” by swinging her bag at people and screams “i’m not from lima heights but i know a bunch of people who are and they’ll k!ll you!”
she has a lot of cousins, again idk why i just makes sense
she’s an only child (not sure if this is canon because she was written as a throwaway character)
all of her notes are written in pink gel pen
she’s insanely organized and will clean out anyone’s locker if they ask her to
she opens her own boutique at one point and then decides it’s boring and hands it off to either tina or marley
she moves in with a group of randoms and has to call santana and mercedes for help more than once because “one of those poor idiots took my stripey cardigan”
absolutely hates confrontation of any kind
won’t order food for herself but will ask for extras with no problem

doesn’t want kids. never have, never will
she makes sure to stay in touch with all her friends as they go their separate ways because that was the one thing that was always the same to her
her and shelby still talk on occasion
