2012, Minnesota rejected a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage with 51.90% of the electorate opposed. A majority of all votes cast would be required to amend the state constitution. Obergefell v. Hodges On June 26, 2015 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell that state laws banning same-sex marriage violate the Fourteenth Amendment, rendering such laws unconstitutional and invalidating the remaining 14 same-sex marriage bans still being fully or partially enforced. As of 2016, bills have been introduced in Virginia and other states to legislatively repeal the null-and-void amendments. See also Same-sex marriage law in the United States by state Notes References
