Missouri voters backed a state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage with about 71 percent in unofficial results. The vote served as a barometer for national strategies as at least nine states consider similar measures this year. Opposition argued the ban is unnecessary and discriminatory while advocates cited legal protection against challenges. A separate Seattle ruling allowed gay couples to marry under Washington state law.
