A landmark ruling recognizing same-sex marriages is sparking debate across the nation. The Massachusetts Supreme Court has ruled that not recognizing a same sex marriage is against its constitution. But as of now it`s only a court ruling and one that could be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Local lawyers say it has little affect on the four states until Massachusetts actually enacts a statute that permits same sex marriages. Fleischaker says he doesn`t believe the state of Missouri would automatically recognize a same sex union from Massachusetts with the present status of the law.
