Colorado lawmaker plans to introduce civil-unions bill
A state lawmaker plans to introduce a bill next year that would make Colorado the fourth state to recognize civil unions.
Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, said he believes the majority of Coloradans support civil unions and oppose gays being treated unfairly.
Steadman, who is gay, said he expects his proposal to pass the Democratic-controlled Senate, but he's not sure what kind of reception the idea will get in the Republican-controlled House.
