DENVER - Today, Governor Polis signed SB25-014 - Protecting the Freedom to Marry, sponsored by Senator Jessie Danielson, and Representatives Lorena Garcia and Brianna Titone. The bill repeals language in the Colorado Constitution that bans same-sex marriage.
“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 Last November, the voters got rid of outdated language in our constitution that banned same-sex marriage.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,” said Governor Polis.
"I am personally grateful to Senator Danielson, Representatives Garcia and Titone, and the countless community leaders and advocates whose hard work has made today possible. This landmark legislation fulfills the hopes and dreams of so many across our LGBTQ+ and allied communities, and affirms that progress hard won is always worth defending, and in the end, love triumphs over all,” said First Gentleman Marlon Reis.
