No same-sex couples have legally married in Linn county because the state Constitution of Missouri currently prohibits same-sex marriage. There are now two civil suits filed in Missouri state courts challenging the ban on same-sex marriage. Lawson v. Kelly was filed on June 24, 2014. Barrier v. Vasterling is scheduled for oral arguments on September 25, 2014. The outcome of these cases is unsure, since the Missouri Supreme Court ruled on February 27, 2013, that Survivor benefits were rightfully denied to the surviving partner of an officer of the highway patrol based on their marital status, not on sexual orientation.
