A Missouri judge has overturned the state's ban on same-sex marriages and ordered registrars to start issuing licenses to gay and lesbian couples.
In a ruling Wednesday, Judge Rex Burlison struck down the ban, declaring it unconstitutional and saying officials should give licenses to same-sex couples seeking to get married.

Missouri judge overturns state's ban on same-sex marriage

Only about 18 states to go!
Many Missouri counties are declining to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples after a judge in St. Louis ruled that the state's ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional.
The president of the Recorders' Association of Missouri said the group was advising county officials Thursday that the Wednesday ruling by St. Louis Circuit Judge Rex Burlison applies only there and not the rest of the state.
