What the measure does
Today, Virginia’s Constitution still has a ban on marriage between people of the same sex, but a U.S. Supreme Court ruling means that ban cannot currently be enforced. This amendment would remove the ban and say that two adults may marry regardless of sex, gender, or race. It would also say that lawful marriages must be treated equally.
What the result means for Harrisonburg
A yes vote means the Constitution would remove the ban and protect equal treatment of lawful marriages between two adults.
