—————————————————————
Jim Obergefell, of Cincinnati, who was focus of gay marriage Supreme Court case, will lead Ohio delegation during roll call, the party says.
Massachusetts stood first alone, allowing same-sex marriage beginning in 2004. By the end of spring 2015, 33 more states in short succession legalized same-sex unions while 13 others — including Ohio, with a state constitutional amendment prohibiting gay marriage passed in 2004 — dug in and held fast.
It was an Ohio couple, Cincinnatians James Obergefell and partner John Arthur, who provided the test case that would lead the Supreme Court to remove that last legal roadblock.
Obergefell and Arthur, who was terminally ill, got married in Maryland on July 11, 2013, and filed a lawsuit challenging the state of Ohio to recognize same-sex marriage on death certificates.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine fought back, arguing that the state had voted in 2004 to define marriage as being between a man and a woman. That case, bundled with others, went before the Supreme Court and served as the definitive statement about whether marriage could only take place among people of the opposite sex.
The ruling came long after Arthur died on Oct. 22, 2013.
