BOULDER ~ Boulder, CO - Governor Jared Polis made a visit to the Boulder Museum today to view the new exhibit, "Bending the Arc". The exhibit, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of six marriage licenses issued to same-sex couples in 1975, tells the unique story of LGBTQ+ rights in Boulder. During his visit, Governor Polis also met with members of Colorado's LGBTQ community to hear about their experiences with the new administration in Washington D.C.
"It was great to hear from LGBTQ Coloradans today as we work to build a Colorado for all," said Governor Polis. "These are uncertain times, and it's more important now than ever that we work together to protect and enhance freedoms. Colorado is for everyone, no matter who you are or who you love. This exhibit highlights a story of Boulder bravery, and I am honored to see the wonderful work of artists in our community that have brought this heartwarming story of LGBTQ rights to life again. This exhibit reminds us all of the importance of our Colorado For All."

The exhibit focuses on a historic event that took place on March 26, 1975 at the Boulder County Courthouse. County Clerk Clela Rorex issued a marriage license to Dave McCord and Dave Zamora, making it the first documented time in the country that two men were granted a marriage license. Since then, Colorado has enshrined marriage equality in its State Constitution and banned conversion therapy, ensuring that everyone can marry who they love in a Colorado For All.
During his conversation with LGBTQ Coloradans, Governor Polis discussed various topics including a recently-issued Department of Defense memorandum aimed at removing transgender members from the military. The state recently learned that this order would also include transgender National Guard members.
"Removing already trained and capable people from military service would make Colorado and our country less safe," stated Governor Polis. "If there are well-qualified and dedicated members of our National Guard who were born a different gender, it's frankly none of the government's business. We value everyone who contributes and if someone is doing a great job keeping us safe, we want them in the Guard. Our Colorado National Guard members help our state respond to many situations, including natural disasters like floods and wildfires, and help keep us safe. The people who admirably step up to serve in our National Guard - who take time away from their families and jobs to serve their state and their nation - should not be used as a political football."
