While a 'Civil Unions' bill is expected to make it through the Colorado legislature this year, the first potential ballot measure for 2014 looks to legalize gay marriage. Lynn Bartels of the Denver Post reports on the official wording, which reads:
Be it enacted by the voters of the State of Colorado: Article II Section 31 of the Constitution of the State of Colorado is amended to read: A union of one man and one woman, one man and one man, and one woman and woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state.

Let's pass civil unions, and then mess with this. Don't let the GOP use this as an excuse to not do the right thing.
Well, this was filed by a 17-yo and wouldn't be on the ballot until 2014. Civil Unions will be passed by March 1st
I don't think this will interfere with bill's progress at all.
I'm allowed to link to the DP in the comments, I think.

I get that. That wouldn't stop Republicans from using it as an excuse.
Alriiiiiight. If you're going to have a fight, have a fierce one over a meaningful cause.
