Unfortunately, the gay marriage ban in question is in the state constitution, and therefore wins. Period. Whether the claimed exemption put forth by the misogynstic asshole in question survives is still open to consideration.

Do you know where the text of the ammendment can be found? I'm curious what part of applies to this case. I can look it up, but, as Granovetter noted, we all prefer social networks to institutional sources in our information seeking behavior.

I don't know, and am honestly having trouble finding it. I did find this:
OHIO Current law:
  • DOMA written into state constitution and state law

  • Legislation: State constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage placed on the Nov. 2 ballot by citizen initiative groups and approved by voters.

here (http://www.stateline.org/live/ViewPage.action?siteNodeId=136&languageId=1&contentId=15576).

Oops - just found it. See the PDF found here: Ohio Constitution (http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/constitution.pdf)
ยง 11 MARRIAGE.
Only a union between one man and one woman may be a marriage valid in or recognized by this state and its political subdivisions. This state and its political subdivisions shall not create or recognize a legal status for relationships of unmarried individuals that intends to approximate the design, qualities, significance or effect of marriage.
. Looks like the asshole may have a case. IANAL
