Missouri circuit court judges have granted “divorces” in at least two cases involving female couples who were “married” in other states that, unlike Missouri, recognize same-sex “marriages.” The controversial rulings signal a new line of attack by same-sex marriage advocates against the Missouri Constitution which was amended by voters in 2004 by a 71-29 percent margin defining marriage as between one man and one woman. Same-sex marriage proponents’ inability to convince the majority of voters to redefine marriage has forced them to turn their attention to the courts, primarily the federal court system where liberal judges have issued a plethora of rulings in their favor. But more recently some of their legal action has turned to state courts.
