Description
From the Dennis McBride Photograph Collection (PH-00263) -- LGBTQ+ events and organizations in Las Vegas, Nevada -- Digital images file. Notes from the donor, Dennis McBride: Sevcik, et. Al. vs Sandoval was the court case which led in part to overturning Nevada's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. On April 10, 2012 the Lambda Legal Defense Fund filed a lawsuit on behalf of eight Nevada same-sex couples; the rally depicted in these photographs was called at the Center to celebrate the filing. Mary Baranovich and Beverly Sevcik were one of the eight couples suing the state of Nevada, and the couple after whom the case was named. For more on the same-sex marriage issue in Nevada, see Out of the Neon Closet: Queer Community in the Silver State, by Dennis McBride [North Charleston, SC: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2016], pp. 273-318. Individuals identified by the donor, Dennis McBride: seated, l-r: Mary Baranovich; Beverly Sevcik
