Judge Timothy Black’s ruling on Monday criticized the state’s “ongoing arbitrary discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.” He says the state’s marriage recognition bans are unconstitutional and unenforceable.

It's not a ruling for full marriage equality, but a judge has ruled that Ohio must recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states:The state is expected to appeal, so this, like many of the other pro-equality rulings since the Supreme Court struck down part of the Defense of Marriage Act, will not be finalized for some time. Black is temporarily staying his order to allow both sides to make arguments for and against a longer stay; if he doesn't grant the longer stay, the state will presumably ask an appeals court to do so.
