Ohio's 2025 bathroom law applies to schools and doesn't affect hotels. That said, trans people going to OVFF should do their own research on how they might be affected.

Adding some context (I also own the FilkNews account): I'm told I had previously submitted the song for an earlier songbook, and they were basing the assumption of permission on that. I'm entirely willing to believe I had done that, though I don't remember every time I say "Sure, you can use that."

Filk News @filknews.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

DragonCon is doing a 40th anniversary songbook, and instead of asking people for permission to use their songs, they're including them unless you refuse permission (e.g., if their email gets lost in transit). This is a highly dubious practice.
