Ohio Marriage Ban to take Effect Tomorrow

Thursday, Dec. 2 is the day the Ohio Marriage Amendment -- the result of the recently passed State Issue 1 -- is scheduled to take effect. [...]

“We believe the amendment will not stand... We also know that most people do not favor discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender citizens. We know that the vast majority of public officials in the state opposed the amendment for all the right reasons. We know that the language of the amendment is dangerously vague and will be difficult at best to apply and enforce. We know that an attempt to legitimize inequality and discrimination will ultimately fail the test of equal treatment and justice for all that is the bedrock of the United States Constitution. And -- most of all -- we know an amendment encoding discrimination in the Constitution of Ohio is simply wrong.”
