Lesbian,gay,bisexual,transgender,and queer (LGBTQ) people in the U.S. state of Nevada enjoy the same rights as non-LGBTQ people. Same-sex marriage has been legal since October 8,2014,due to the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in Sevcik v. Sandoval. Same-sex couples may also enter a domestic partnership status that provides many of the same rights and responsibilities as marriage. However,domestic partners lack the same rights to medical coverage as their married counterparts and their parental rights are not as well defined. Same-sex couples are also allowed to adopt children. Since 2022 the Nevada Constitution explicitly includes both sexual orientation and gender identity - discrimination laws since 1999 included sexual orientation for employment and expanded thereafter to housing and accommodation. In addition,conversion therapy on minors is outlawed in the state.
Same-sex marriage has been legally recognized in Nevada since October 9,2014,when a federal district court judge issued an injunction against enforcement of Nevada's same-sex marriage ban,acting on order from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Same-sex marriage was previously banned by an amendment to the Constitution of Nevada,which was approved by voters in 2002. The statutory ban on same-sex marriages was repealed by the Nevada Legislature in 2017,and the constitutional ban was repealed by voters in 2020 by 62–38 percent.
