Springfield, Missouri City Councilman Doug Burlison, a Libertarian, has helped end a city ordinance that made it illegal to solicit sex from a person of the same gender.

“This is not a measure approving gay marriage,” Burlison said. “We’re not giving gay people any additional rights. This is a measure, in my mind, that keeps everyone on a level playing field and keeps social engineering out of local law.”

Burlison was elected to the Springfield City Council in 2007.
