Amendment 43 and Referendum I Local clergy held a rally against Amendment 43 at the state capitol yesterday, according to the Rocky Mountain News. From the article, "Rev. Phil Campbell, founder of the Colorado Clergy for Equality in Marriage and director of ministry studies at Iliff School of Theology, said constitutions are written to give and protect rights, not take them away. Furthermore, he said, blocking someone else's legal protections does not strengthen marriage, prevent divorce or protect children. Lisa Moreno, spokeswoman for a new political committee called Don't Mess with Marriage, noted that the amendment is unnecessary because state law already limits marriage to a relationship between a man and a woman... "The coalition behind the rally includes representatives from the American Baptist Church, Episcopal Church, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Presbyterian Church, Reform Judaism, United Church of Christ and United Methodist Church. Many at the midday rally were also in support of Referendum I, a separate ballot issue that would allow gay couples to register as domestic partners and assume many of the rights and responsibilities associated with marriage."
