    It seems like Ohio is going a bit extreme, but in a way that harms nobody, but there heart seems to be in the right place, so I say congrats to them! Good job, and well done Ohio.

    Wait, so they tried to banned gay marriage (and weren't allowed to), but now they want to use gender-neutral pronouns?

    Also, yay! This is good for anyone who has issues with being called a female or male pronoun.

    I wish the article provided more information. Can you opt out of this? It is great for some people but seems like it will be confusing for many, if I am understanding it correctly (probanly not).

    Honestly, there is not much information on it right now, since it is since a new ruling. I don't get how having "partner 1" and "partner 2" could really be confusing though.

    Well in a stereotypical heterosexual mother/father relationship, it seems easier to keep track of who is who. Maybe they should just use names lol.

    I don't think that it really matters who is who. Like partner 1 could be male or female (or something else) on the marriage certificate. As long as you have the name, that is what really matters in identifying somebody.
