(Explicit: State constitution explicitly enshrines marriage equality and/or prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Implicit: Interpreted by a court ruling via a state equal protection clause or similar (not federal))
06:06, 25 March 2025Thumbnail for version as of 06:06, 25 March 2025959 × 593 (92 KB)RobsalernoReverted to version as of 03:57, 14 February 2025 (UTC) -- there's an important distinction between implicit and explicit recognition. In explicit recognition, the constitution has been explicitly written to say marriage is a union between two people; in implicit recognition, courts have read a right to marriage into the constitution via other sections on due process or equal treatment
