Cuyahoga County has passed legislation protecting the rights of LGBTQ people. The new law adds sexual orientation and gender identity or expression to the list of protected classes, which already includes race, age and religion, among others. Opposition was on religious grounds and the impact on small businesses. On the Sound of Ideas, we'll look at what, exactly, the new law does and what impact it's likely to have. Plus, we'll preview the next stop of The Sound of Ideas Community Tour where we'll discuss medical marijuana in Eastlake.
