A few days ago I noted that Ohio's legislature had passed, and its governor will soon sign, legislation to forbid gay marriage and to prohibit domestic partnership benefits for state employees. But this week, the city of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, launched its own domestic partner registry -- the first in the nation created by voters. "The registry, which passed with 55% of the vote in November in this community of 50,000, was the first such measure adopted by way of the ballot," reports the AP.
Even in Ohio, the forces of reaction can't stop the movement
toward greater liberty and legal equality from advancing.
