No same-sex couples have legally married in Carson City because same-sex marriage is prohibited by an amendment to the Nevada State Constitution. On November 29, 2012, the United States District Court for the District of Nevada upheld the constitutionality of Nevada's ban on same-sex marriage. That ruling is currently being appealed at the United States District Court for the 9th Circuit. In the meantime, same-sex couples may receive statewide comprehensive domestic partner benefits in Nevada, which substantially approximate the rights and responsibilities of marriage, but which are not recognized by federal law.
