Denver's Channel 7 reports the Colorado Supreme Court has officially lifted sanctions preventing county clerks from issuing marriage licenses to gay couples. Colorado Attorney General issued this statement in response:
"There are no remaining legal requirements that prevent same-sex couples from legally marrying in Colorado. Beginning today, Colorado’s 64 county clerks are legally required to issue licenses to same-sex couples who request them. In addition, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is required to register such marriages in the records of the State of Colorado."
Gay couples can now legally marry in 25 states and the District of Columbia.
