Colorado

Colorado is home to over 13,000 same-sex couples. From 1990 to 2006, the number of same-sex couples in Colorado increased by 648%.Even though so many same-sex couples are living and coming out in Colorado, in 2006 Colorado voters approved an anti-marriage discriminatory constitutional amendment. State advocacy groups continue to work towards repealing marriage and relationship recognition discrimination and gaining the freedom to marry for the citizens of Colorado. As of the legislative session in 2009, gay couples in Colorado can access some protections and responsibilities at the state level.
