Columbus City Council President Andrew J. Ginther on U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Black's ruling that Ohio must recognize same-sex marriages performed legally in other states:
"Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, 'Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.' Judge Black's historic ruling moves our state one step closer to justice and full equality for all Ohioans. Columbus has long been one of the most welcoming communities in the nation for LGBT families, and I look forward to the day when all Ohio families are treated fairly and equally under state and federal law."
