Missouri facility : No lesbian wedding for you – LGBTQ Nation

Missouri is one of 28 states where it is still legal to discriminate against LGBT individuals in housing, employment and public accommodation.

The Missouri Nondiscrimination Act or MONA has been introduced in both chambers of the legislature since 1998 and would add LGBT protections to Missouri’s Human Rights Statute.

“While we have come a long way to secure marriage equality, inclusive nondiscrimination protections are more vital than ever,” said Stephanie Perkins, Deputy Director of PROMO, Missouri’s statewide LGBT advocacy organization. “Regardless of how an individual or business owner may feel about same-sex couples, we should all be able to agree that everyone deserves the same level of respect. Businesses should never be allowed to deny services simply because the customer is gay or transgender.”
