    Default Interesting repercussion of Ohio gay marriage ban

    So, according to this, if a couple isn't married, domestic violence charges can't be filed, due to the judge's reading of the language of the Ohio gay marriage ban, which prohibits any law that creates a legal status for the relationships of unmarried people. So you couldn't charge an abusive live-in partner with domestic violence (which carries stiffer penalties).

    I think this judge might be trying to make a point here.

    Hmph.

    I'm doing workshops about domestic violence in the GLBT community at a conference in a couple weeks.
