JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – One Missouri state representative wants the state to recognize marriage as an act between “two individuals” rather than one exclusively between opposite sexes.
Chris Sander (R-District 33), who is openly gay, recently introduced House Joint Resolution 31 to redefine marriage within the state constitution.
According to the resolution, Sander proposes that “a marriage shall exist between “two individuals.” The resolution wants to eliminate language in a current Missouri state statute that “only” recognizes marriage between “a man and a woman.”
