It's been a bumpy time for marriage equality in Nevada, a state that sees plenty of marriages thanks to Las Vegas and Reno. Anticipating marriage equality's arrival, the city's travel organization placed a full-page ad in Thursday's USA Today (see below), but had to pull it because of the latest reversal (same-sex marriages were finally performed October 9). Regardless, the city released the following statement:
“This is a historic day for Las Vegas and the great state of Nevada. As the 'Wedding Capital of the World' and one of the top destinations for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender visitors, Las Vegas welcomes LGBT couples wishing to legally recognize their relationship. There is simply no better destination to host a fabulous wedding followed by a one-of-a-kind honeymoon.”
