LGBT rights in Nevada
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in the U.S. state of Nevada are protected by anti-discrimination laws. Same-sex marriage has been legal since 2014. Since 2009 they have had access to domestic partnership status that provides many of the same rights and responsibilities as marriage, though they lacked the same rights to medical coverage as their married counterparts and their parental rights are not as well defined. Since October 8, 2014, marriage has been legal due to the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in Sevcik v. Sandoval.
==Sodomy laws==
Nevada decriminalized sodomy in 1993, ten years before the U.S. Supreme Court in ''Lawrence v. Texas'' struck down laws that criminalized private consensual sexual activity. Senator Lori Lipman Brown introduced ''Senate Bill 466'' on May 13, 1993, to decriminalize what the statutes called "infamous crime against nature". At hearings, two doctors linked repealing the sodomy laws with a public health measure to combat the stigma and spread of HIV. Other supporters included Reno, Nevada Rabbi Myra Soifer, former Senators Helen Foley and Jean Ford, gay rights advocate Lee Plotkin, and progressive activist Bob Fulkerson. Opponents included Janine Hansen of the Nevada Eagle Forum and Independent American Party of Nevada and Lynn Chapman who said that repealing the sodomy laws would increase the spread of HIV/AIDS and would "open the floodgate ... in legalizing, condoning and recognizing homosexuality to be on an equal footing with heterosexuality" and lead to "such things as homosexual marriage and adoption of children." In the course of the legislative process, the words "infamous crime against nature" were replaced by "anal intercourse, cunnilingus or fellatio in public". Other amendments, including one to require sex education in schools to provide "factual information regarding the dangers of such activities" of "a homosexual lifestyle or the infamous crime against nature", were defeated. Democratic Governor Bob Miller signed the legislation on June 16, 1993.
