Would remove the ban on same-sex marriage from the state's Bill of Rights, which the state calls no longer enforceable since Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015. It would replace the ban with a fundamental right to marry, regardless of the sex, gender or race of either adult.
A yes vote Removes the ban and adds the right to marry to the Virginia Constitution. A no vote Leaves the ban in the Constitution's text. It would be enforceable again if the Supreme Court overturned its decision.
