Gay marriage in the law of the United States of America. But Missouri lawmakers have refused to remove now-defunct language barring same-sex marriages from state law. Each year, state lawmakers pass legislation to remove language from outdated statutes, as part of cleaning up the state’s laws and ensuring they are still relevant and up-to-date. Again lawmakers in the Republican-run State House of Representatives balked at removing the state’s statutory ban on same-sex marriage. During debate in the House, Rep. Tracy McCreery (D-St. Louis) proposed an amendment to repeal the statutory bans on same-sex marriage or out-of-state marriages to the House’s bill revising various statutes. But McCreery’s amendment was rejected on technical grounds. The sponsor of the revision bill, Rep. Dan Shaul (R-Imperial), said that revision bills cannot be amended on the floor, and that the Joint Committee on Legislative Research had already determined what statutes to repeal, revise or strike. McCreery points out that the Republicans have found effective ways to prevent the repeal of the law. A law that now is only a symbolic symbol of the past.
