Look: Photos Of First St. Louis Same-Sex Couples To Get Marriage Licenses
A judge has tossed Missouri’s ban on same-sex marriage and St. Louis couples are wasting no time!
Just a short time ago a judge found Missouri’s ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional, as The New Civil Rights Movement reported.
Wasting no time, couples are getting marriage licenses in St. Louis, where his ruling applies, at least for now. Since no stay was placed on the ruling, couples immediately became eligible to wed.
Here are the first photos of the lovely couples!
