2. Unfortunately, full same-sex marriage is banned in the state constitution.

Back in 2006, a same-sex marriage ban amendment passed in Colorado.

Which means Colorado's General Assembly cannot directly override it without putting another amendment on the ballot.

But they can do civil unions. So that's the plan.

Besides, hopefully same-sex-marriage bans will get struck by SCOTUS as being in violation of the 14th fairly soon.
