As reported by Colorado Newsline in the article titled “Bill to remove same-sex marriage ban in Colorado statute passes Senate committee”, Colorado lawmakers have taken a step toward aligning state law with modern values and federal precedent. Senate Bill 25-14, aimed at repealing outdated statutory language defining marriage as between “one man and one woman,” has passed a key Senate committee and now heads to the Senate floor for a full vote.
The bill’s advancement follows a decisive vote in November, when 64% of Colorado voters approved a constitutional amendment removing the same exclusionary definition from the state’s constitution. The proposed statute change, while not required by the amendment, underscores Colorado’s continued legislative support for marriage equality.
