With a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage expected any day now, gay couples in states with bans are making wedding plans, courthouse officials are getting ready for different scenarios and steadfast foes are working on their strategies to keep up the opposition.
Marriage license bureaus are bracing for a rush of applicants if the court overturns bans. Meanwhile, there’s been a series of planning sessions by groups that intend to explore religious objection responses to protect “traditional marriage” limited to heterosexuals.
If the U.S. Supreme Court rules in favor of same-sex marriage, the lead plaintiff in the historic case says he’ll be able to help out with the expected surge of couples wanting to wed.
Jim Obergefell of Cincinnati says he has gotten ordained online in preparation. He says he wanted to be able to offer to perform marriages for others as “a nod” to his own proposal to his partner immediately after the high court’s 2013 ruling that struck down part of the Defense of Marriage Act.
He and his dying partner, John Arthur, were unable to wed in their home state because of Ohio’s 2004 ban, so Arthur’s aunt got ordained and officiated their wedding in a medically equipped plane on a Maryland tarmac.
Arthur died three months later, and shortly after, Obergefell began the legal challenge titled James Obergefell, et al, v. Richard Hodges, et al, that is before the high court. (Hodges is the director of the Ohio Department of Health.)
Obergefell, a real estate salesman, has been in Washington awaiting the decision. If the court rules for same-sex marriage, he said recently by email, “I imagine I’ll be out celebrating.”
Gay couples, such as Ethan Fletcher and Andrew Hickam of Cincinnati, are gearing up for a quick run to the courthouse in Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee — the states involved in the cases that were argued in April before the justices. They’re among 14 states that ban same-sex marriage, and if the high court rules in favor of gay marriage, it would apply nationally.
