Polis Statement on SCOTUS Declining to Hear Same-Sex Marriage Cases

Statement

Representative Jared Polis (CO-02) today issued the following statement after the Supreme Court of the United States declined to hear any case on same-sex marriage:

"Today the Supreme Court has effectively expanded marriage for all loving couples to as many as thirty states, in all regions of our nation, including Colorado! The Colorado Attorney General has already ordered that LGBT couples in all 64 counties are allowed to get married!

"While the court's decision is a victory for tens of thousands of couples across the country who now have access to marriage equality, it also means there is still work to be done to ensure that no matter where you live, every American can marry the person they love and are making a life with.

"The majority of Americans already support expanding marriage equality nationwide and I remain confident that it is only a matter of time before we achieve this common-sense goal. I will continue to work to advance the rights of all Americans to marry who they love and offer my congratulations to all couples who will be able to legally marry as a result of the Court's decision!"
