Is it really true that court orders of protection are limited to heterosexual couples?

***In some states.





That has to be a myth, or the past or something.Is it really true that court orders of protection are limited to heterosexual couples?
Yes, but the laws have also impacted some unmarried straight couples as well.





Some states which have passed constitutional bans on same-sex marriage have included language that does not recognize any union other than a marriage between a man and a woman. This has resulted in some courts finding that domestic violence laws are unconstitutional.





A constitutional ban on gay marriage in Ohio has led to a new defense for unmarried people who are charged with domestic violence for abusing their live-in partners. A state constitutional amendment in 2004 prohibited legally recognizing any union other than a marriage between a man and a woman. Defense lawyers say the domestic violence law violates the amendment by creating a domestic status for unmarried partners. Since Ohio passed its amendment in 2004, two of the state's 12 appeals courts have agreed that the domestic violence laws are unconstitutional. Other states, including Wisconsin and Virginia, are watching the Ohio case. Since Wisconsin's amendment took effect in January, at least one defendant unsuccessfully challenged a restraining order citing the amendment.Is it really true that court orders of protection are limited to heterosexual couples?
Nooooooo way! You have to go to court and prove it, but it applies to anyone has assaulted you. I've been there. A protective order is different than a restraining order.
I love the gays, except the troll Whitney Houston shes a mean self-centered gay.
