It is without reservation that I am proud to endorse the Colorado Domestic Partnership Benefits and Responsibilities Act. My friends in the GLBT community deserve the dignity to be able to make their own decisions concerning matters such as hospital visitation, inheritance, health care decisions, and end-of-life decisions.

I commend Senator Joan Fitz-Gerald and Representative Tom Plant for working to give our state's voters an opportunity to remedy the disparities that exist in our laws today. I believe that our state's citizens will embrace the values of fairness and equality that this ballot initiative represents.
