Same-sex marriage has been legal in Missouri since the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges on June 26, 2015, which struck down state bans on marriages between two people of the same sex as violating the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment. Prior to the court ruling, the state recognized same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions pursuant to a state court ruling in Barrier v. Vasterling in October 2014, and certain jurisdictions of the state performed same-sex marriages despite a statewide ban. On November 5, 2014, a state court ruling striking down Missouri's same-sex marriage ban in State of Missouri v. Florida ordered St. Louis to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. In response to this ruling, St. Louis County also began issuing marriage licenses. On November 7, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri struck down Missouri's same-sex marriage ban in Lawson v. Kelly, but stayed its order directing Jackson County to issue licenses to same-sex couples. Despite the stay, Jackson County began issuing marriage licenses immediately following the ruling. Assessing the state of same-sex marriage litigation in December 2014, Marc Solomon of Freedom to Marry said, "Missouri [was] the most complex state on this issue."
