Many in the LGBTQ community are on edge about the conservative-leaning Supreme Court and recent comments from two justices criticizing the 2015 decision to legalize same-sex marriage.

On Tuesday, Nevada voters took action to protect the law.

They overwhelmingly voted in favor of protecting same-sex marriage in the state Constitution. 

Nevada is the first state to do so.

Its constitution will be changed to define marriage as "between couples regardless of gender."
