Virginia Votes on Marriage Equality | Richmond News

Virginia voters face a pivotal constitutional decision this year: whether to enshrine marriage equality into the state’s founding document. Though the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015, Virginia’s constitution still defines marriage as between one man and one woman. Supporters argue this amendment is a legal safeguard against future federal reversals, ensuring lasting recognition for thousands of LGBTQ+ couples and families already living in Virginia. Opponents, however, cling to traditional definitions of marriage and warn of broader societal impacts. With campaigns intensifying on both sides, Virginians will ultimately decide whether their state moves forward with equality—or holds firm to its current stance, shaping the future of family rights across the commonwealth.
