Colorado Independent: Polis: "I'm gay. I'm not allowed to get married."

Ask Boulder businessman Jared Polis about his personal life, a very fair question given he’s one of the more high-profile candidates running for U.S. Congress in Colorado this year, and he’s very forthright:

"I’m gay. I have partner of four and a half years. I’m not allowed to get married."

No bitterness or rancor, just a matter-of-fact answer from a 33-year-old man who would become the first ever openly gay member of Colorado’s congressional delegation if he can beat out two Democratic opponents in the Aug. 12 primary and then take down Republican aerospace engineer Scott Starin of Lafayette in the November general election.
