Marriage

Voters approved ballot measures to define marriage as between one male and one female in the following 30 states. The first such measure was in 1998, and the latest one occurred in May 2012. Bans on same-sex marriage were invalidated in the 2015 United States Supreme Court case Obergefell v. Hodges.

On Nov. 6, voters in California and Colorado approved ballot measures to repeal constitutional limits on same-sex marriage that were enacted in the 2000s. In Hawaii, voters also repealed language providing that "the legislature shall have the power to reserve marriage to opposite-sex couples.”

In 2020, Nevada became the first state to repeal its same-sex marriage ban from its constitution.
