Lundberg asks Coloradans to save 'core institution'

DENVER — Rep. Kevin Lundberg doesn't want Colorado to follow Massachusetts.
Lundberg, a Republican lawmaker from Berthoud, called a press conference Wednesday at the state Capitol to denounce the same-sex marriages that Massachusetts started recognizing this week.
"We will defend this core institution of civilization," he said. "I call on all Coloradans to join us in rising up in defending the true meaning of marriage."
The federal Defense of Marriage Act already allows states not to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states, and Colorado is one of 38 states that has its own law that specifically refuses to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.
