"The shot": Fran and Anna Simon kiss after their civil union ceremony. Photo by Evan Semon, Out Front Colorado If you were part of last night's partying related to the first legal civil union ceremonies for LGBT couples in the state of Colorado, chances are you're not even awake yet (unless you haven't gone to […]
FOX 31's Eli Stokols: On Monday morning, the Colorado House of Representatives did something it has never done before, debating the civil unions bill that’s been introduced for three straight years. The debate could have happened at the end of last year’s session, after civil unions survived three successive hearings before GOP-controlled committees, but then […]
State Sen. Pat Steadman marking the day, as legislation to legalize Civil Unions is out of the Senate and on its way to the Colorado House.
SUNDAY UPDATE: Lynn Bartels of the Denver paper gives former Sen. Ed Jones’ offensive remarks some belated attention, and background, in a blog post late yesterday evening.—– FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports on yesterday's rally to "Protect Marriage" at the state capitol: At the event, organized by the Colorado Catholic Conference, opponents of Senate Bill […]
As announced in an email from LGBT advocacy organization One Colorado today:
The Colorado Civil Union Act has been scheduled for its first hearing — Wednesday, January 23, at 1:30 p.m. in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Civil unions is a critical piece of legislation for our community. If passed, it will provide committed same-sex couples in the state with the protections they need to take care of their families.
We have a lot of support for the bill in the Senate Judiciary Committee — thanks to your incredible work during the election. But you can be sure that opponents of equality will flood the Capitol before Wednesday’s vote…
Passage of civil unions was assured, of course, after the extraordinary actions of the GOP House majority last year to kill the bill became a central 2012 campaign issue, and Democrats retook control of the House in the November general elections by a strong majority.
Fait accompli or no, it’s a popular question today at the Capitol whether “Anus Granny” will make another appearance Wednesday.
UPDATE 8:10PM:The special session civil unions legislation, HB12S-1006, dies in the House State Affairs Committee on a party-line 5-4 vote. —– UPDATE #5: LGBT philanthropist and major Democratic funder Tim Gill is personally attending today’s hearing on civil unions legislation, reports Nic Garcia of Out Front Colorado. —– UPDATE #4: With all eyes fixed on […]
UPDATE #4: Speaker Frank McNulty responds not too happily, via Out Front Colorado: “If the governor wants to make this special session about gay marriage, than that’s his prerogative,” McNulty said. “It is ironic to me that the governor would choose to use his bully pulpit for the purpose of gay marriage but stand on […]
UPDATE 11:10PM: House galleries erupt in anger, are reportedly cleared as Speaker Frank McNulty pronounces the death of Senate Bill 2 along with dozens of other bills. —– UPDATE 11:00PM: As of this writing, the House is in recess after an hours-long standoff between GOP House leadership and proponents of civil unions legislation. If the […]
UPDATE #2: House Speaker Frank McNulty floats trial blame-game balloons in an interview with LGBT publication Out Front Colorado today: “Frankly, the supporters of Senate Bill 2 should be the ones most angry about the Senate Democrats for playing politics with their lives,” [McNulty] said during an interview with Out Front Colorado… “I certainly understand […]
UPDATE #2: FOX 31’s Eli Stokols: Friday was a roller-coaster that began with anxiety that Republicans were stalling and ended with evidence that they’re not, as the bill, after some legislative maneuvering, arrived in and promptly passed out of its second GOP-controlled committee in 24 hours. On the yes vote of Rep. Don Beezley, R-Broomfield, […]
