This amendment removes Virginia’s ban on same-sex marriage and states any two adults have the right to marry. The state and local governments could not deny marriage licenses based on sex, gender, or race, and must recognize and treat all lawful marriages equally. If passed, all couples would get the same benefits and protections—like hospital visits, taxes, inheritance, and adoption—reducing discrimination and legal uncertainty.
Vote Yes on this bill if you want Virginia’s constitution to guarantee that any two adults can marry and be treated equally under the law, regardless of sex, gender, or race.
Organizations that support this bill may include civil rights and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups, equality-focused legal organizations, inclusion-minded business associations, and faith communities that support marriage equality.
Supported By

Organizations that oppose this bill may include socially conservative advocacy groups, some religious organizations that define marriage as only between one man and one woman, and groups seeking to preserve the existing constitutional language.
