A resolution recognizing the contributions of Clela Rorex, a pioneering county clerk who, in 1975, advanced civil rights for all couples seeking to be married.
SRES 118 is a Senate resolution honoring Clela Rorex, a Boulder County, Colorado, clerk who in 1975 issued the first same-sex marriage license in the U.S. to Dave McCord and Dave Zamora, advancing civil rights for LGBTQ couples when no Colorado law prohibited it. The resolution recognizes her courage in facing threats and condemnation while advocating for equality, and designates March 26, 2023, as "Clela Rorex Day" to commemorate her legacy. This procedural resolution does not create new law or affect policy but formally acknowledges her historical role in the fight for marriage equality.
