This past election, 11 states did what John Kerry supported and voted to decide what constitutes the legal definition of marriage in their individual states. The people in those states decided by voting. That's how democracies work. So now Ohio has a more restrictive state constitution than most other states.

- I see nothing wrong with defining that a "marriage" is a union between one man and one woman. I do agree that the measure in Ohio went too far because it bans any "legal status for relationships of unmarried individuals that intends to approximate the design, qualities, significance or effect of marriage." But people thought it should be left to the individual states to decide and that's how the people in the state of Ohio voted.
