LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada will vote this November on whether to repeal a same-sex marriage ban from the state’s constitution, the first statewide vote on such a ban in the five years since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized the marriages nationwide.
[edit]
In addition to removing language recognizing marriages only between a man and a woman from Nevada’s constitution, the ballot question before voters will require that the state recognize all marriages, regardless of gender, and that all legally valid marriages be treated equally under the law. It would also stipulate that religious organizations and clergy members have the right to refuse to solemnize a marriage and that no person has the right to make a claim against them for a refusal.
