Ohio Gay Marriage Ban Protects Accused In Domestic Abuse Cases
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/03/032405ohio.htm

Domestic violence charges cannot be filed against unmarried heterosexual couples because of Ohio's new constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, a judge ruled Wednesday.

Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Stuart Friedman changed a felony domestic violence charge against Frederick Burk to a misdemeanor assault charge.

Prosecutors immediately appealed.
