Remove the Ban and Protect the Freedom to Marry in Colorado
This November, a ballot question will ask voters, "Shall there be an amendment to the Colorado constitution removing the ban on same-sex marriage?" By voting Yes to remove the ban, Colorado voters will update our constitution to reflect Colorado values that someone should be able to marry the person they love and preserve federal marriage benefits and protections, including hospital visitation rights, access to healthcare coverage, social security, and tax benefits.
Freedom to Marry
Colorado’s voting laws are some of the most accessible in the country. However, many transgender and nonbinary Coloradans have questions about voting–and may face discrimination at the ballot box.
