Nevada poised to ratify same-sex marriage in its state constitution

Nevada will likely become the first state to ratify same-sex marriage under its state Constitution as the general election measure gains majority support.

While a majority 62 percent (287,967) voted in favor of Question 2 adding same-sex marriage protections to its Constitution, the Associated Press had yet to call the final decision as of Friday, Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

The state has tallied over 88 percent of total votes received, the AP added, showing a likely approval for the measure.

Nevada State Director of the Human Rights Campaign Briana Escamilla said in a statement that the people of Nevada have shown "that LGBTQ equality is a priority for voters."

The Nevada GOP had pushed the agenda of the Mormon and Local Catholic Church's as well as the tons of New Religious Groups that have popped up in the last decade.

Just a rerun of a familiar message they have pumped for more than tow decades.
