• “All Coloradans deserve the freedom to marry who they love. But our constitution includes an outdated, overreaching ban on marriage for same-sex couples. It’s time that the Colorado constitution be updated to ensure that every Coloradan has the freedom to marry now and in the future.” - Freedom to Marry Colorado 
  

• “This November, a ballot question will ask voters, “Shall there be an amendment to the Colorado constitution removing the ban on same-sex marriage?” By voting Yes to remove the ban, Colorado voters will update our constitution to reflect Colorado values that someone should be able to marry the person they love and preserve federal marriage benefits and protections, including hospital visitation rights, access to healthcare coverage, social security, and tax benefits.” - PFLAG Fort Collins  
  

• “Coloradans overwhelmingly support the freedom to marry. If the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Obergefell vs. Hodges, the landmark 2015 decision to support marriage equality, same-sex couples in Colorado will not be allowed to get married in the future. We must update our constitution to reflect Colorado values that someone should be able to marry the person they love.” - Nadine Bridges, Executive Director, One Colorado 
  

• “The role of married parents is crucial in society, as the function of mothering and fathering uniquely impact the emotional and intellectual development of the children, so that they too may become well-functioning members of society and continue posterity. This is why marriage between one man and one woman is proven to be the best anti-poverty, anti-crime, and pro-health institution. And every child has a natural right to a mother and father.” - Colorado Catholic Conference    
  

• “The Democrats want to remove the idea of marriage being between a man and a woman.  You will have an opportunity to vote against this initiative in November. Marriage was never between people and a state. Marriage was always between people and God. God established marriage in the first chapter of Genesis. This is a God ordained thing. Humankind did not create marriage. If you want what God says is marriage, you have to go by his rules. This goes directly against God’s laws.” - Scott Bottoms, Colorado State Representative  
  

• “Marriage should be a union between one man and one woman, and this definition of marriage should be preserved in the Colorado Constitution. If court rulings regarding same-sex marriage change in the future, the Colorado Constitution should reflect that marriage is a union between one man and one woman.” - Colorado Legislative Council, Argument Against Amendment J
