Colorado has officially made marriage equality the law, as Governor Jared Polis signed the Protecting the Freedom to Marry act, repealing a previous constitutional provision that restricted marriage to heterosexual couples. This law comes after a voter-approved amendment last November that repealed the outdated ban. The new law forbids discrimination against same-sex couples in marriage, ensuring their marriages remain recognized even if federal rulings change in the future. This move highlights growing acceptance and legal support for LGBTQ+ rights in the state.
"Colorado is for everyone, no matter who you are or who you love. Last November, the voters got rid of outdated language in our constitution that banned same-sex marriage."
"This is a long overdue step in the right direction and today's law I'm signing ensures that Coloradans can marry who they love in our Colorado for all."
