This would be the 38th state that passed a Defense of the Marriage act, or equivalent. At this point, Ohio would no longer be bound by treaties to recognize marriages from other jurisdictions that are not between a man and a woman.
At least they allowed the people to choose. In Canada, the courts made our laws, and it seems a similar thing happened in Massachusettes. We'll see.
It also seems the vast majority of Americans do not want the traditional meaning of a marriage to be changed, and I am among them. Marriage is for ONE man, with ONE woman.
Hopefully, the other 12 states will follow soon.

But this is just discrimnation ? Leagl rights are being denied to these people because of there sexual orientation.
Are they saying that if you are in a same sex marrage then you suddenly stop being married when step into Ohio (and suddenly become married as soon as the step out ?)
So basically they are saying you are going to be trated as if you are hetrosexual regardless of your personal preference's.
IMHO Same sex relationships are here to stay, there is nothing that can be done to change that fact. The sooner governments/people accept that the better.
p.s. they don't have to like it, just accept that people will love people of the same sex and stop discrimination.
