"Marriage equality is officially the law of the land in Colorado after Democratic Gov. Jared Polis signed a law repealing a provision in the state constitution that banned marriage between same-sex couples."
"Colorado is for everyone no matter who you are or who you love."
"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."
"Colorado voters approved an amendment to the state constitution in 2006 that stated only the union of one man or one woman could be considered a valid or recognized marriage."
"Voters later passed an amendment to overturn the ban in 2024 with 63 percent in favor."
"The new law ensures that even if the Supreme Court reverses Obergefell marriage equality will still be legal in Colorado."
"Nine states have recently introduced resolutions asking the court to hear the case again citing similar constitutional amendments banning marriage between same-sex couples that were nullified by Obergefell."
"The freedom to marry who we love is a fundamental right," Danielson said.
"I cannot sit back and allow Coloradans to have their marriages and families put at risk.
