PUEBLO, Colo. — A third Colorado county began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples Friday even though the legal fight is far from resolved in the state.

Pueblo County joined Denver and Boulder County in allowing gay couples to marry a day after a state judge ruled the Boulder clerk can continue issuing the licenses.

Colorado’s 2006 voter-approved gay marriage ban remains on the books. But District Court Judge Andrew Hartman noted it is “hanging on by a thread” following rulings by another state court and the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

In Denver, clerk Debra Johnson began granting gay-marriage licenses shortly after Hartman issued his ruling. She gave licenses to 17 gay couples Thursday afternoon.

4. Love it.

Partly because it's right, but partly because it's making the bad guys know how irrelevant they are.
