Judge Black, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Ohio, held that, “Ohio’s marriage recognition bans are facially unconstitutional and unenforceable under any circumstances.” Article 15, Section 11, of the Ohio Constitution, to the extent it prohibits the recognition in Ohio of same-sex marriages valid in other states, is struck down as being in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S Constitution.
