Voters in Missouri approved an amendment of the state constitution yesterday banning same-sex marriage. Missouri is the first state to vote on the issue since the Massachusetts Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage earlier this year. Nine other states will vote on same-sex marriage bans this fall. Three states have such initiatives pending. And four other states—Alaska, Hawaii, Nebraska and Nevada— already passed constitutional amendments banning gay marriage before the Massachusetts ruling.
