Though he says he supports same-<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> marriage, he also commented that he felt bound to uphold Missouri law (the state has a constitutional amendment banning same-<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> marriage passed in 2004).<\/p>\n<p>Koster did not defend the state&#8217;s ban in court on Monday.

He argued that 71 percent of Missourians voted for that definition of marriage in a 2004 referendum, and the U.S. Supreme Court has time and again allowed states to define marriage.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is the state&#8217;s, and the people&#8217;s, responsibility to make that decision,&#8221; Morgan said.<\/p>\n<p>Calvert noted that an increasing number of states are allowing same-<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> marriage, including most of the states surrounding Missouri.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The laws forbid some people from choosing who they marry,&#8221; Calvert said. &#8220;It&#8217;s only <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> and <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">lesbian<\/a> <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">couples<\/a> that are treated as second-class citizens by the state.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The AP also points out that this hearing comes just a week after a federal judge&nbsp;&#8220;in Kansas City [heard arguments] on a suit filed by 10 <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">couples<\/a> over the state&#8217;s failure to recognize same-<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> marriages performed in other states.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The ACLU has a pending lawsuit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2014\/06\/aclu-files-lawsuit-challenging-missouris-ban-on-gay-marriage.html\" target=\"_self\">challenging Missouri&#8217;s gay marriage ban<\/a>&nbsp;as well.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the outcome in any of these cases, it is almost certain that each will be appealed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=UfwgLRWTOh0:oY_8OKnVjj4:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=UfwgLRWTOh0:oY_8OKnVjj4:I9og5sOYxJI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=I9og5sOYxJI\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=UfwgLRWTOh0:oY_8OKnVjj4:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=UfwgLRWTOh0:oY_8OKnVjj4:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?i=UfwgLRWTOh0:oY_8OKnVjj4:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=UfwgLRWTOh0:oY_8OKnVjj4:cGdyc7Q-1BI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=cGdyc7Q-1BI\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=UfwgLRWTOh0:oY_8OKnVjj4:YwkR-u9nhCs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=YwkR-u9nhCs\" border=\"0\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/towleroad\/feed\/~4\/UfwgLRWTOh0\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"><br \/>\nSean Mandell<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2014\/09\/st-louis-circuit-judge-hears-challenge-to-missouri-same-sex-marriage-ban.html\" class=\"autohyperlink\">www.towleroad.com\/2014\/09\/st-louis-circuit-judge-hears-challenge-to-missouri-same-sex-marriage-ban.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St. Louis Circuit Judge Hears Challenge To Missouri Same-Sex Marriage Ban St. Louis Circuit Judge Rex Burlison heard arguments Monday on a challenge to Missouri&#8217;s <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> marriage ban brought by four <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">couples<\/a> who were married in St. Louis by city officials in June.
