COLUMBUS, Ohio — A group seeking a constitutional amendment on the ballot to overturn Ohio’s gay marriage ban says it will continue that push while hoping that the issue will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.
FreedomOhio Executive Director Ian James outlined that plan in a statement Thursday after a federal appeals court in Cincinnati upheld same-sex marriage bans in Ohio and three other states.
The court broke ranks with other courts that have considered the issue, increasing the likelihood that the Supreme Court will take it up.
