Colorado civil unions bill clears Senate committee

Sen. Pat Steadman (pictured) and Rep. Mark Ferrandino, two openly gay members of the Colorado state Legislature, are supporting an effort to create civil unions for same-sex couples in that state. The bill cleared a state Senate committee vote on Monday

"These are protections no family should be without," state Sen. Pat Steadman, one of the bill's sponsors.
