  • Judge set key Ohio gay marriage ruling exhibit

    A federal judge is expected to exhibit what most return could be judgment for gay marriage in Ohio, by the order of the State, recognizing the marriages of same-sex couples in other States MI, allow same-sex marriage.

    Judge Timothy Black indicated in court on April 4 that he expects Monday, rules, order Ohio outside the State gay marriages to recognize because the State violates fundamental rights against prohibition and denies a fundamental right for people to marry the person of their choice.

    His judgment would allow that homosexual couples in Ohio, the same benefits as any other couple in the State, including the property rights and the right to some medical decisions for their partners. The ruling would affect directly every other State but Ohio.

    Black is not expected to force, Ohio to perform homosexual marriages in the State.

    The State plans to appeal black ruling, argue that Ohio has a sovereign right to ban gay marriage, have the voters overwhelmingly in 2004.

    Lawyers for the State have also said that they black stop there for a stay of his ruling in the effect immediately, such as its attractiveness to if he is automatically it will not questions.

    Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine told The Associated Press on Wednesday, he believes, is the marriage between man and woman, and that voters decided the same Ohio in 2004 when they passed nationwide gay marriage ban.

    "My job as Attorney General is defending the statutes and defend Ohio's constitutional provisions," he said. "This was the voters elected to so is to do my job."

    DeWine to speculate on what the outcome of the State be appealed or the future of gay marriage rights as a whole rejected.

    "Each State has a lively debate and I think this is a right thing to do," he said. "I think it's pretty obvious that all these issues are resolved by the 6th Circuit, some cases go to the Supreme Court. You want to have a decision of the United States Supreme Court, and we want to accept all that."

    Gay marriage is legal in 17 States and Washington, D.C. federal judge, gay marriage recently met bans in Michigan, Utah, Texas, Oklahoma and Virginia, though stays have been issued pending complaints.

    Similar to Ohio's expected ruling, judge in Kentucky and Tennessee ordered State officials to recognize homosexual marriages outside the State. The Kentucky decision remained appeal, while Tennessee decision applies to only three pairs.

  • Utah Attorney General: Defense Of Gay Marriage Ban Is Not About Hate

    SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes said Friday during a rally of gay marriage opponents that his defense of the state's same-sex marriage ban in a federal appeals court is not motivated by hate.

    Reyes said he decided to defend the 2004-voter approved ban to stand up for the state's rights to define marriage as residents decide. He again declined to reveal his personal position on gay marriage, saying only that he has friend and families on both sides and empathy for all involved.

    "I can assure you, we are not motivated by hate, we are not targeting out of animus or any sinister motives particular individuals or families in Utah," said Reyes, who has been in office four months.

    Reyes spoke during a rally at the Utah Capitol attended by about 100 supporters of Utah's same-sex marriage ban.

    They gathered to thank Reyes and stand up for what they called traditional marriage a day after a federal appeals court heard arguments about the constitutionality of the law. Utah is spending up to $300,000 to have a team of three outside attorneys defend the law in appeals court.

    Attorney generals in seven states —Virginia, Pennsylvania, California, Illinois, Nevada, Oregon and Kentucky — have declined to defend same-sex marriage bans.

    During a hearing Thursday in Denver, three judges of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals appeared divided about whether to uphold a ruling by a federal judge that overturned Utah's gay marriage ban. A ruling is expected in the coming months.

    The U.S. Supreme Court last year ruled that a law forbidding the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages was unconstitutional, and, since then, eight federal judges have struck down state bans on gay marriage or the recognition of same-sex marriages from other states.

    The climate has significantly changed since 2004, when several states, including Oklahoma and Utah, passed the bans. Polls show a majority of Americans back same-sex unions today.

    The Utah rally was put on to show gay marriage opponents are still out there and don't intend to give up. Speakers said marriages between a man and a woman are the only unions that ensure children are raised properly, echoing an argument made by state attorneys to the appeals court.

    Mary Summerhayes held up a picture of two gay men with their adopted child, decrying the harm done to children raised without the love of a mother.

    Chirley Rodriguez, a mother of six adult children from Lindon, Utah, held a sign that said: "Gay marriage destroys families." Like many, Rodriguez said her religious views drive her beliefs: "Traditional marriage is God's law."

    Organizers of the event reminded people in an email promoting the rally that just last weekend a leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reiterated the church's opposition to gay marriage, cautioning that while governments may redefine marriage, the Lord has not. More than two-thirds of Utah residents belong to the LDS church, including Rodriguez.
