The executive director of One Colorado, the state’s largest LGBT advocacy organization, has found himself sandwiched in time between his biggest political victory – the passage of the Colorado Civil Union Act – and an undetermined day, that, when it arrives, will set in motion a series of events that will solidify plans to usher in marriage equality here.
Three outside groups are working to ensure the political party that supports their position on the Colorado Civil Union Act is in power at the Colorado General Assembly after the November election. So far, the three committees have raised more than $300,000.
A group hoping to strip Speaker of the House Frank McNulty of his power raised $55,000 before going public with its intentions, campaign finance reports show.
LGBT community leaders are hoping a strategy to used in New York to unseat anti-gay lawmakers will work in Colorado. The group’s aim is to help elect leaders who will support civil unions.
