Moments ago, State Senators Pat Steadman and Lucia Guzman introduced the Colorado Civil Union Act. If passed, the legislation will provide same-sex couples with critical protections to take care of each other.

Take action now! Sign our petition and call for the passage of civil unions.

Last year during our civil unions campaign, we saw that our opponents will go to any length to deny protections for our families. They’ll offer up lies and use scare tactics to try to derail civil unions. They were even willing to shut down state government!

We have so much support at the Capitol, but our opponents will stop at nothing to kill civil unions.

Make sure that our lawmakers hear your voice – not the lies that our opponents will spread.

Over the past several years, our community has stood together to accomplish amazing victories. In 2011, we passed a bullying prevention bill that protects LGBT students. In 2012, we generated 25,000 contacts into the Capitol in support of civil unions-and we won bipartisan support in both the House and the Senate.

And just a few months ago, we celebrated the election of a pro-equality majority in the House and Senate.

We must keep building on this momentum. Join us! Click here to sign.

We’ve come this far because of you. You’ve made calls, sent e-mails, and showed up when we’ve asked. You’ve told your story and shared your family with your neighbors and with our lawmakers.

We’re poised to make history this year. But we can’t stop pushing for it. We’re almost there-let’s do this!

Onward!
