Missouri Minister registers lesbian wedding
The wedding of two lesbians in Kirkwood, Missouri, may be valid in the hearts and minds of the couple, but it has no standing in St. Louis County. The Rev. Daniel O'Connell, who performed the ceremony, filed an affidavit Monday, declaring that he has "solemnized" the wedding. The county accepted the papers and recorded them, but Janice Hammonds, the county recorder of deeds, said they mean nothing. "He's not filing it as a marriage license because he can't," Hammonds said. "We don't record legality. We accept it, but it doesn't make it legal."
