Susy Bates, the campaign director for Freedom to Marry Colorado, stated, "We are one bad decision away from overturning [Obergefell]. If that happens, the 2006 ban would go into effect and marriage for LGBTQ couples would immediately be at risk. We have to take action now to remove the ban and ensure protections for our communities." This highlights the urgency and potential threat to marriage equality if the constitutional ban is not removed.
A coalition of nearly 40 religious leaders from diverse backgrounds in Colorado expressed their support for the ballot initiative, emphasizing their commitment, saying, "As faith leaders and communities throughout the state of Colorado, we stand together in support of the freedom for LGBTQIA+ Coloradans to marry the person they love. We denounce discrimination based on gender, sex, sexuality, and family composition and proclaim together the sacredness of the LGBTQIA+ community." This statement reflects a significant shift in religious perspectives toward LGBTQ+ rights.
