ACLU Taking on Missouri’s Gay Marriage Laws

The ACLU filed a lawsuit today seeking recognition for Missouri same-sex couples legally married out-of-state.  The lawsuit does not seek to repeal Missouri’s gay marriage ban.

After Massachusetts permitted same-sex marriage, Missouri in 2004 became the first state to enact a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
