Plain-English Summary

This resolution honors Clela Rorex, a Colorado county clerk who issued marriage licenses to same-sex couples in 1975, decades before such marriages became legal nationwide, recognizing her role in advancing civil rights and equality. The measure acknowledges her courageous decision to treat all couples equally under the law despite the legal and social opposition she faced at the time. It serves as a tribute to an early advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and marriage equality.
