Ohio officials must immediately recognize the same-sex marriages of four couples who sued over the state's gay marriage ban, a federal judge said Wednesday, while staying the broader effects of his ruling to avoid "premature celebration and confusion" in case it's overturned on appeal.
Judge Timothy Black stayed his ruling ordering Ohio to recognize the marriages of gay couples who wed in other states pending appeal in the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. The appeals process likely will take months.
Had Black not issued the stay, all married gay couples living in Ohio would have been able to immediately begin obtaining the same benefits as any other married couple in the state, including property rights and the right to make some medical decisions for each other.
Black said the stay does not apply to the four couples who filed the February lawsuit that led to the court case and ordered Ohio to immediately list both spouses in each relationship as parents on their children's birth certificates.
In explaining the stay, Black said that although he doesn't think the state's appeal will succeed, there is still a chance the 6th Circuit could overturn his decision.

There are roughly 800-900 Article III federal judges.
Why do you think the Left has made it a goal of theirs to inundate these judgeships with Lefties?
Meanwhile, the Left's media only trumpets the headline:
"A federal judge today ruled..."
No name, no attribution - just one of The Nine Hundred. "Their Word is like unto the Word of a God".
Libertarians support gay marriage by opposing any action whatsoever, they oppose DOMA, and a Constitutional amendment, and their presidential candidate is calling to drop opposition to gay marriage, as he runs for the office that oversees, gay marriage in the military, in federal employment and immigration.
First that’s a lot of overgeneralizing lies.
Second you ignore the gospel. Government has presumed to do what only the church actually could.
Being against gay marriage represents gospel, it isn’t against GOD.
Arguing desperately to preserve gay marriage and libertarian’s war against Christian conservatism, is anti-God, to try and claim God for gay marriage at the federal level in America, is pure Satanism.
We have gay marriage in the military, federal employment, and immigration, don’t fight to preserve it, join us in fighting against it.
I’m so confused. Reading articles and threads on the BLM vs. Bundy you’d think the rule of “law” was the most important thing in the world.
Except when it’s about gay marriage I see! So confusing. /s
Ohio needs to tell the federal judge to shove it. Give him a copy of the Tenth Amendment.
You have a short circuit in your brain and in your soul.
Sometimes a people has sinned itself into a position so weak that a frontal attack is doomed; and God Himself determines that. The hugest sin is stealing, and if you can point to anyone who is even half as serious as the Pauls about ending the stealing, feel freeeeeeeeeee.
Within minutes of same-sex marriage passing, polygamy will be on the docket. We have foreign professors asking about constantly.
It is Satanic for you to keep fighting to preserve gay marriage at the federal level and claim to be doing it in the name of God.
It is Satanic for you to lie about me and lie about liberty and lie about those who fight for liberty.
See the posts above yours, some will be defending polygamy in the name of Christ.
If lies don’t do the trick then you pile on the innuendo.
How about attending to first things first. Then you will get all manner of evils eliminated.
Sometimes frontal attacks ARE DOOMED and God dooms them on purpose!
How can it be a lie, your posts are right on this thread.
We need a presidential candidate who opposes gay marriage at the federal level for the military, federal employment and immigration, you desperately oppose that, and have for at least a decade.
The only thing that has changed in your arguments, is this fairly new, ‘In the name of Christ stop opposing gay marriage’.
My posts are right here, and so are your misreadings of them.
I set both out boldly before God to judge. I don’t think you are going to look that good because you are for the exaltation of yourself and of man.
I am for the exaltation of God. That exaltation was thrown away decades ago with the large, stealing, nanny government.
How about “in the name of Christ stop the existing sins and then and only then you will find yourself with power to leave gay marriage in the dustbin of history.”
The creepiest defense of gay marriage and gay marriage candidates on freerepublic, or anywhere on the planet, 'gay marriage in the name of Christ'.
Libertarianism is based on the idea that “In theory, everyone is basically good and if left to their own devices, they will resort to doing good”. In the Libertarian world, you could put a prison half-way house for sex offenders next to an elementary school.
I remember a Libertarian telling me that they supported no-fault easy divorce because “that way, no one gets hurt”. A rather typical mindset.
Read your bible... look at what happened when the Israelites attempted to fight with “sin in the tent.” Their enemies drove them back and God ignored their weeping.
Unlike gay marriage, which you didn’t ask for and can’t be blamed for, government stealing went on with your votes for decades.
Nannytarianism is based on the idea that people have no Savior and need a human government to order their lives.
You support gay marriage, and rather fiercely.
This is a political forum, we do politics here, and politics make laws, you just recently won gay marriage in the military, federal employment, and immigration, and in some states, and now you fight like the devil to keep it.
We oppose it and want to fight it, and you fight us.
