In 2002, Nevada voters passed an anti-marriage constitutional amendment. During the 2009 legislative session, a two-thirds majority of Nevada legislators voted overruling the Governor’s veto to create broad domestic partnerships which include all of the same protections and responsibilities that come with marriage at the state level. State advocacy groups continue to work to overturn discrimination and move towards true fairness and equality for Nevada's families.
