As the judge in the Colorado case wrote: "Because Respondents’ objection
goes beyond just the act of “marriage,” and extends to any union of a
same-sex couple, it is apparent that Respondents’ real objection is to the
couple’s sexual orientation and not simply their marriage. Of course,
nothing in § 24-34-601(2) compels Respondents to recognize the legality of
a same-sex wedding or to endorse such weddings. The law simply requires
that Respondents and other actors in the marketplace serve same-sex couples
in exactly the same way they would serve heterosexual ones."
