Same-Sex Ruling in Ohio Opens Up Many Other Legal Issues

The Columbus Dispatch reports on the latest victory for same-sex marriage: Ohio now must recognize other state's same-sex marriages. "A federal judge’s ruling that Ohio must recognize same-sex marriages legally performed in other states is expected to open the door to a variety of issues, including bereavement leave, health-care decisions, taxes and survivor benefits," the Dispatch further reports. Ohio's statewide ban on same-sex marriage remains intact.
