This anti-Gay marriage ban in some US states...

What is the actual wording? Does it specifically say "same sex" or "civil union" ?

Here in Ohio it specifically defines marriage as "Between a man and a woman".

I suppose if one got a sex change, they could get around it that way, but well, that's kinda extreme unless they really wanted one. Perhaps if they found another way to be declared a woman. Could be an interesting loophole.

But just as bad, the Ohio law strips away the rights of unmarried couples, heterosexual or not from getting any joint benefits or loans or property. This bill has smashed the dreams of hundreds of thousands and not just homosexuals. Howevert he courts will be weighing in on this in the near future as the first lawsuits have already been filed.
