ColoradoProtecting the Freedom to Marry
What it does
Colorado statute states that a marriage is valid only if it is between one man and one woman. That provision has been unenforceable since the United States Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U.S. 644 (2015), in which the Court ruled that same-sex couples have a fundamental right to marry.
