Kansas begins use of neutral marriage forms amid same sex ban litigation
Kansas state officials filed a motion to dismiss former Secretary Robert Moser and introduced new neutral marriage forms. The forms list Party A and Party B and let couples choose bride, groom, or spouse. Since the suit began, two counties issued licenses to same sex couples and 23 such certificates have been issued statewide. The ACLU suit argues the state denies recognition for benefits and name changes. No rulings on clerk or Mosher dismissal requests yet.
