Good to see Cincy on the right side of history for a change.

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine’s office defended the state’s laws in filings with the court on Monday, but Cincinnati city lawyers representing Dr. Camille Jones, the vital statistics registrar for the city, declined to defend the law, telling the court, “The City will not defend Ohio’s discriminatory ban on same-sex marriages,but the City’s vital statistics registrar is bound to follow Ohio law until that law is changed or overturned.”

What a long way from the 1993 amendment to the city charter that specifically prohibited the city from extending any form of benefits to gay and lesbian partners.

Not perfect yet but making progress.

Oh, and BTW, Kasich is a dick (I have to say it in any post about Ohio politics because it is an immutable fact of life here)
