GOP Activists Take Same-Sex Marriage Support Effort To Ohio

freedomtomarry.org

Activists who don't want the Republican Party's 2016 platform to oppose same-sex marriage will promote their effort in Ohio. A group called the Young Conservatives for the Freedom to Marry will have representatives in Cincinnati Columbus and Cleveland this week.  Their visit comes less than a month before the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments about same-sex marriage bans in Ohio and three other states. They say they've met with like-minded Republican activists and elected officials and are trying to encourage young Republicans to go to the 2016 convention as delegates seeking a platform with inclusive and unifying language.
