BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Colorado’s Jared Polis, who became the first openly gay man in the United States to be elected governor in 2018, has married his longtime partner and first gentleman Marlon Reis, a writer and animal welfare advocate.
Polis, 46, and Reis, 40, were married in a traditional Jewish ceremony attended by family and friends in Boulder on Wednesday, the governor’s office said. Rabbi Tirzah Firestone officiated.
They have been together for 18 years and have two children, a 7-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl. The family lives in Boulder.
Polis, a Democrat, and Reis were engaged in December as Reis was preparing to be hospitalized after contracting COVID-19. Reis was released from the hospital after two days. Polis also caught the coronavirus but had only mild symptoms.
“The greatest lesson we have learned over the past eighteen months is that life as we know it can change in an instant,” the couple said in a statement. “We are thankful for the health and wellbeing of our family and friends, and the opportunity to celebrate our life together as a married couple.”

Why do people call these types gay? They are sexual perverts clear and simple. If that is how they want to live it’s between them and God Almighty but it does not have to continually be shoved in our faces. This makes me as sick as looking at obami, bushi,joey and the like. DISGUSTING!!!!!!!
Jesus calls them sodomites & dogs in the Bible
man our country has lost its moral compass where evil is good and good is evil.
this is sick.
Not even one homo allowed in the kingdom of heaven.
Yes, not one PROUD homosexual. Not one proud heterosexual either.
“All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.”
Pity an asteroid couldn’t fly in that day, and level that marriage ceremony!
These 2 men did NOT get married, no matter what they claim, and no matter who the phony person was that presumed to officiate their wicked ceremony!
Since the beginning of time, the definition of MARRIAGE has always been between a MALE & a FEMALE. The one who created humanity is the only one who reserves the right to define marriage. Any 2 men, or any 2 women who decide to live together in a “relationship” are free to make that choice, but they do not have the privilege of changing the Creator’s definition of marriage.
Unfortunately for the Colorado Governor, the Bible clearly states that Homosexuality is an absolute abomination towards God, and anyone who dies without repenting of this sin will suffer eternal punishment for their lawless, anti-God lifestyle.
Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13 An abomination!
These two people have 2 young children living in their house that they refer to as their children. That is the worst thing about this, IMO.
I truly pity those kids….
It’a a giant UNETHICAL experiment for the first time in history to be inflicting same sex parenting on children they could not have without third party and state intervention. Children are purposely made at least half orphans from their biological parents or equally bad, given a committee of parents by judges. The kids are 97% likely to be hetero themselves without a hetero role model and are missing either a mother or a father, problematic for learning how to parent as adults. What happened to the precautionary principle when it comes to playing with children’s lives for the whims of adults born homosexual?
Now I know the reason Colorado is going to Hell in a hand basket!!!
No all homos will go to hell. No exceptions!
Illogical. If you believe in hell you believe in God. If you believe in God, he made homosexuals same as he made any other disabled person. Hell isn’t for people with disabilities but for those who choose evil.
This should be under “Cartoons” not “News”.
Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis chapter 19 was the one example of how Jesus Christ feels about and deals with dogs like Colorado gov Polis.
Remember when Obama said that marriage is between a man and a woman? Not that anything Obama would EVER say could EVER influence me. Boy, that coward caved to the leftist baby killers. Anyhoo, two men? No way, never, just leave me alone, I will never accept them. Live your lives, leave me alone!
The bible tells us exactly what God says homosexuality is. It’s acting on that urge that gets you a ticket to the eternal underworld. Cancer & diabetes are diseases & not someones choice, but living as a sexual pervert or drug addict is.
And while we’re at it, shoplifting, habitual speeding, jaywalking, spousal abuse, child neglect…stealing cookies….PRIDE….
Sin is SIN and all of it pays the same.
We don’t get judged by cultural standards we will be judged next to one who is altogether HOLY and without sin…of any kind. Even Mother Theresa will need that Grace that only comes from claiming the gift of Salvation.
Any rabbi would know that the Law of Moses (the first five books of the Bible) clearly and repeatedly labels homosexuality as a grievous sin against the Lord. Additionally, it is a sin against nature and humanity.
“Gay marriage” is a farse and a sick joke.
“Polis, 46, and Reis, 40, were married in a traditional Jewish ceremony….”
NO! They were NOT!!! Who do they think they are kidding, besides themselves, The Almighty?
Does this ring a bell?: “Behold, I am the SAME yesterday, today and forever!” You see the 1960’s had NO IMPACT on God’s culture. We are in a period of Grace but the time has been set that His judgment will fall and being PROUD of your sinful, fallen, nature will not be a good strategy for Eternity.
Which one was the “birthing person”? Polis implied my mother was a woman of loose morals when he called anyone in Colorado who didn’t wear a mask, “a *******”. I called his office twice about it demanding he apologize and he never returned my call. At least I know who both my parents are while I doubt he can prove the circumstances of his birth as the kennel was closed the day he was conceived.
As a 76-year-old-Jew, I’ve been to a number of Jewish weddings; Orthodox, Conservative and Reform and even Reconstructionist and this is as much a “traditional” Jewish wedding as the Village People are a Klezmer band. It’s mierda del toro1
Excuse typo. Very last character should have been ! not 1.
