Colorado Senate passes civil unions bill
(CNN) - The Colorado Senate on Thursday approved a civil unions bill that would allow same-sex couples the right to inherit property, apply for family leave and share medical decisions.
The bill, approved 23-12, now goes to the House.
In Colorado, only a man and woman can marry. The bill would allow two unmarried adults, regardless of gender, to enter into a civil union.

'bout time!1 Welcome to the 21st century Colorado!
Colorado proves itself sane, while Arizona continues with the birther nonsense by passing a bill out of committee that requires the long form birth certificate and all the rest of that nonsense in an attempt to keep Obama off the ticket in 2012 (no, they did NOT push its effective date to 2013 in order to try to soften their idiocy). Shows the difference a couple hundred miles and a few thousand bigotted imbeciles can make.
Look out Colorado, here comes the bashing Westboro Baptists from neighboring Kansas!
Good for them.
Alright Colorado!!!!! Who would have thunk it.
Call it civil union so that those who think "marriage" is so sacred (wink, wink, the rethug politicians who cheat with other men and women) can over their hatred and dumbness.
