Nevada has become the first US state to remove a same-sex marriage ban from its state constitution after over two-thirds voted to amend a clause which defined marriage as the union of a man and a woman.
According to USA Today, Nevada was one of 30 states with a constitution that defined marriage as strictly between a man and a woman as per a 2002 amendment to the state’s marriage laws.This definition has been altered to ‘couples, regardless of gender’, which protects LGBTQ+ marriage rights regardless of any moves made by the Supreme Court.
