Voters agree to remove same sex marriage ban from Colorado's constitution
Although the ban hasn’t been in effect for nearly a decade, backers of the amendment said it was time to get the language off the books.
Summary
Colorado voters passed Amendment J, removing language from the state constitution that defined marriage exclusively as a union between one man and one woman.
This 2006 provision, previously enshrined by Amendment 43, conflicted with the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.
Supporters, including LGBTQ+ advocacy group One Colorado, argue that Amendment J safeguards same-sex marriage in the state if federal protections are ever overturned.
Opponents, like Focus on the Family and the Colorado Catholic Conference, uphold traditional marriage definitions, asserting that marriage should reflect biological complementarity and support children’s well-being through both maternal and paternal roles.

If I didn't have someone who depends on me 100%, I might stay. But she is my number one priority.
I always tell people who are reluctant to cut off narcissistic parents: you owe your parents nothing. You didn't ask to exist. They owe you everything.
I don't blame anyone for leaving. The country is lost. It will make me very sad to see the number of good people go down, but also happy that they escaped the hellscape that is coming.
I just wish I could take everyone with me. Especially my daughter's girlfriend and her close friend who is trans.
Perhaps it will work out that you can. :-)
Sadly, I do not foresee that happening.
Yes, but for the love of god, don't look up narcissistic parents on YT if you don't have any or it'll hound you with those video recommendations until the end of time. Trust.
