The Ohio Supreme Court's Board of Professional Conduct issued a Friday, Aug. 7, 2015, ruling that judges can't refuse to perform weddings for same-sex couples based on personal, moral or religious beliefs, after McConnell refused to marry a same-sex couple because of his religious beliefs and asked the board to clarify his duties. McConnell said Monday, Aug. 10, that he would abide by the board's opinion. (AP Photo/Madalyn Ruggiero, File)
