Get OHIO on board now: GL equality in Marriage
The State of Ohio should establish law to recognize gay marriage.. Then, those Representatives from OHIO in Congress can join with their Senators and develop and support legislation to recognize gay marriage at the Federal level for the 50 states 14 territories (District of Columbia is already on board.)
Why is this important?
Help make equality a reality for all Ohioans1
Governor John Kasich doesn't agree with you and me, and has a long record of prejudice on this issue. Aside from opposing marriage equality, last month, in amazingly fast flip flop, John Kasich went from being "okay" to "no way" on civil unions in a matter of hours.
His flip-flop shouldn’t come as a surprise to Ohioans. Kasich has a long anti-LGBT record, beginning with his time in Congress, when he voted to ban adoptions by gay parents, and supported the Defense of Marriage Act and the military's now defunct “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy that ruined so many good soldiers', sailors' and marines' careers and lives.
.
Delaware became the 11th state to move forward and make marriage universally available to couples of the same gender as it has for centuries to heterosexual couples OHIO needs to be the 12th state. But our regressive governor doesn;t see it that way nor does he act that way. Some in the OHIO House are even more regressive than the Governor.
We know where this issue is going. It isn't cysorclical. There will be universal recognition of gay marriage eventually, so why not now? OHIO next and then the Federal Government so that the rest of the states come on board in a swoop - or swish (sorry, it just came out).
