Rejects the Obergefell v. Hodges decision and calls upon the Supreme Court of the United States to reverse Obergefell v. Hodges

HCR 49 is a symbolic resolution passed by Missouri's legislature rejecting the Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision, which established same-sex marriage as a constitutional right. The resolution calls on the Supreme Court to reverse that ruling and return authority over marriage definitions to states, arguing Obergefell overstepped judicial power and ignored state voter preferences (like Missouri's 2004 marriage amendment). It does not create new laws or affect anyone's rights, as resolutions like this have no legal force and are merely statements of position. Missouri lawmakers emphasize marriage should be defined as between one man and one woman, consistent with their state constitution and historical precedent.
