Hi Friend,

Did you know that marriage equality will be on the ballot in Nevada this
year? 

Question 2 on the Nevada ballot seeks to amend Nevada’s Constitution to
remove gendered and discriminatory language around marriage. Though
marriage equality is secured under the law, Nevada’s Constitution does not
yet reflect our values. This amendment helps to make sure that Nevada
remains committed to protecting civil rights for all its people.

Question 2 will do the following:

* Remove an existing provision recognizing marriage as only between a
man and a woman, and require the State of Nevada to recognize
marriages of all couples, regardless of gender.
* Require all legally valid marriages to be treated equally under the
law.
* Reiterate an already existing right for religious organizations and
clergy members to refuse to perform a marriage. This does not give any
additional freedoms to churches and clergy that they don't already
have. The Supreme Court affirmed the right of clergy to determine who
they will marry in the Obergefell v. Hodges decision. 

Same-sex couples in Nevada pay taxes, vote, serve in the military and run
small businesses. They deserve to see their state constitution protect
their families. With voting already taking place in Nevada, the [ [link removed] ]Yes on
2 campaign needs your support! Equality can’t win without people like you,
who will vote YES on Question 2 and encourage your friends and family to
do the same.
