  Protests were held in Dayton, Akron, Cleveland, Clintonville, Youngstown, Hilliard, Grove City, Pickerington, Mansfield, Zanesville, Westerville, and many other cities across the state. Thousands marched in downtown Cleveland, cheering as cars honked in support. The demonstration in downtown Columbus was part of the Stonewall Columbus Pride March. Protests were also held in the Cincinnati Greater Metropolitan Area. Hundreds of people also gathered outside the Ohio Statehouse on June 13.
  
  In Summit County, an estimated 3,000 protestors demonstrated in Akron, while over a thousand lined both sides of Front Street in Cuyahoga Falls, chanting while holding umbrellas in the rain.
  
  In Portage County, more than a thousand demonstrators gathered in Kent. Over two dozen gathered in neighboring Ravenna. Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski was one of the first Ohio sheriffs to enter into an agreement with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, authorizing sheriff's deputies the authority to interrogate anyone suspected of being in the United States without proper documentation and arrest such individuals without a warrant.
