Today, speakers from Coloradans for Fairness, Focus on the Family and other organizations came to Colorado Law for an information session on Referendum I and Amendment 43 just in time for Colorado’s upcoming November election.Referendum I and Amendment 43 are two items on the November 7th ballot that address same-sex couples.  Referendum I would grant registered partners many of the same rights and responsibilities that heterosexual married couples currently enjoy.  Amendment 44, on the other hand, would effectively ban gay marriage with a state constitutional amendment echoing the statutory definition of marriage as between one man and one woman.For more information on Referendum I and Amendment 43, visit Colorado">http://www.elections.colorado.gov/DDefault.aspx?tid=835&vmid=750#">Colorado Secretary of State's website.
