Supporters of Ohio LGBTQ+ will soon start collecting signatures regarding their proposals equal to rights, because the US Supreme Court was asked to check the marriage decision of the same sex from 2015.
10 years have passed since Scotus decided in Obergefell against Hodges, a case from Ohio, where the judges determined that couples of the same sex people have the basic right to marry. The ruling legalized marriages of people of the same sex throughout the country.
But the Ohio Constitution still states: “Only a relationship between one man and one woman can be an important or recognized one.”
Changes in Ohio regarding marital equality and equal rights resulting from the collection of signatures
This means that if the judges overthrow Obergefell, the marriage of the same sex would be illegal in Ohio.
Kim Davis, a former clerk in Kentucky, who was imprisoned for a few days in 2015. After he refused a couple of people of the same sex of his marital license, he asked the Supreme Court to make a case that overthrow this decision on Monday.
In 2022, judge Clarence Thomas said that the United States Supreme Court should re -consider groundbreaking matters such as Obergefell.
Regula knows that he cannot change what the court does, he said, but there are other options.
“Ohioans have control over the possibility of presenting voting initiatives that help protect our state, help protect our community,” he said.
Ohio equal rights came a step to entering the equality of marriage in the state constitution.
On Friday, the Prosecutor General Dave Yost certified two separate proposals of constitutional amendments: one would remove the decision from the state constitution, which prohibits the marriages of the same sex, and the other would prohibit discrimination against state and local governments due to “breed, color, religion or religion, sex, sex, sex, sexual orientation, sex orientation or expression, regardless Sex, regardless of sex, in the field of delivery, genetic, invariability, unjustified, unchanging, unchanging, unjustified, unjustified, unjustified status, origin, origin, national origin or military status and veterans. “
Ohio equal rights were approved to start collecting signatures for Ohio the right to marry amendment, which would remove a decision that prohibits marriages of people of the same sex, something that is prepared for Christian struggle, conservative activist Lizzie Marbach.
“This is directly contrary to our law to the first amendment to the practice of our religion, but also spits in the face of God, because it not only defines what marriage is, but he created gender,” said Marbach.
Just because someone has the interpretation of the Bible, does not mean that it concerns everyone, said Regula.
“That’s all right to believe,” said Regula. “But we are not a Christian nation.”
There is a specific sculpture for religious organizations and members of the clergy who will be able to deny the requests for a marriage that Marbach appreciated, but said that it was not enough.
She said that her faith is the reason why she is also contrary to another proposal to vote in Ohio equal rights, an amendment with equal rights Ohio, which would prohibit the government discrimination based on sexual orientation and sexual identity.

She said that this was to simply fight with legislators last year.
“It is important not to let men into the bathrooms of women and boys on the sports of young girls and all these things,” she said.
Ohio equal rights were obliged to present two proposals instead of one that focused on all LGBTQ+rights. Republicans at the Ohio voting race stated that the marriages of the same sex people were essentially different from discrimination against security.
This means that instead of needing only collecting about 415,000 signatures for one constitutional amendment, fans would have to get this amount for each of the two corrections – 830,000 significant signatures. In the case of all proposals to vote, campaigns need significant signatures from at least 44 out of 88 Ohio poviats.
Regula wants to get it in the vote of November 2026.
“I think it would be a huge clear place,” he said.
GOP politicians, like SEC. Stan Frank Larose, began to collect funds from amendments.
However, Larose – and each other the policy we saw – only recalled an amendment of equal rights, not equality of marriage.
In E -Mail from obtaining funds, the secretary asked for aid in the fight against democrats who are trying to “write special protection against extreme transgender politicians in schools, enterprises and even churches.”
