In Ohio: A federal judge ordered Ohio authorities to recognize Gay Marriages on Death Certificates


Judge Timothy Black orders state officials in Ohio to recognize such gay unions on death certificates. Might seem like nothing for some, but it's a spark that could challenge the gay marriage ban in the state.
Judge Black said this key piece in his decision:
"once you get married lawfully in one state, another state cannot summarily take your marriage away."
He also said the U.S. Constitution recognizes the right to remain married as a fundamental liberty.

It's about to get serious in Ohio.
