Colorado will join California, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Nevada, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois and Oregon with laws that give same-sex couples all the same state-based rights and responsibilitiues of civil marriage while calling it something else ("civil union" or "domestic partnership"). In a recent brief in the Hollingsworth v. Perry case, the Department of Justice is arguing before the United States Supreme court that such laws are discriminatory and should be considered legally equivalent to marriages in fact.
