LGBT rights in Kansas
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in the U.S. state of Kansas face some legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Same-sex sexual activity is legal in Kansas.
Two lawsuits, one in state court and the other in federal court, challenged the constitutionality of the state's ban on same-sex marriage, and on November 4, 2014, a U.S. District Court judge ruled Kansas' ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. His ruling was stayed as the state sought a stay pending appeal without success, and it took effect on November 12, 2014. Following the Supreme Court's ruling in ''Obergefell v. Hodges'' on June 26, 2015, marriage licenses were generally available to same-sex couples, but the state government continued to deny recognition to same-sex marriages in all other respects.
==Law regarding same-sex sexual activity==
The U.S. Supreme Court's 2003 decision in ''Lawrence v. Texas'' rendered laws banning consensual sexual activity unenforceable, including that of Kansas.〔''New York Times'': ("Supreme Court Strikes Down Texas Law Banning Sodomy," June 26, 2003 ), access April 16, 2011〕 ''State v. Limon'', the first case decided under the ''Lawrence'' precedent, invalidated a provision of the state's Romeo and Juliet law that assigned harsher sentences in statutory rape cases where the parties were of the same sex.〔''State v. Limon'', 280 Kan. 275, 122 P.3d 22, October 21, 2005.〕
