Regarding the April 9 article, ''Todd Rice, former President of the Mansfield Gay Pride Association, dies at 44,'' it is always heartbreaking to see a beloved member of the LGBTQ+ community pass. As a former Mansfield resident and a PFLAG parent (Parents, Family, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), I had the opportunity on April 21 to lobby Sen. Rob Portman and Sen. Sherrod Brown's legislative aides with the Freedom & Opportunity For All Coalition (passtheequalityact.com) to help pass the Equality Act. This act would prohibit discrimination against LGBTQ+ people in housing, the workplace and public accommodations.
