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.

    Sure buddy. It’s all someone else’s fault that you didn’t get the perfect candidate that you wanted.

    So you stayed home and look who you got as a president.

    Good job protesting against DNC. 👍

      I’m from the UK so i don’t have the option to vote in the US election, if i were a US citizen i would have voted for Harris. Take it as an outside perspective. Improve or fuck off. Trump got less votes than he did last time and won both the popular vote and the electoral college.

      The numbers don’t lie, a politician that doesn’t get people to vote for them is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

      do better.

        Lmao I’m not from US either.

        a politician that doesn’t get people to vote for them

        Sorry but this isn’t a movie which you can decide to watch or not based on trailers.

        If voters are expecting everything to be spoonfed to them or get dazzled by politicians then they’re fucking morons.

        You say Harris failed to motivate people to vote for her. I say American voters failed to be motivated to vote against Trump. Even after living under is presidency once already.

        Hope they enjoy dismantling of EPA, OSHA, healthcare, worker’s rights, education and many other things just because they weren’t wowed by a politicians.

        Ciao
