Tuesday saw the state House pass the bill which approves them, with a vote of thirty-nine to twenty-six.
Two Republicans voted with the Democrats, to authorize the bill.
Getting the bill through had been a promise that helped see many Democrats elected last fall, giving them control of the House.
The Senate already passed the bill, so it will now head to Governor Hickenlooper's desk, and he has already pledged to sign the bill.
Opponents of the bill had argued that it was an attack upon marriage.
Supporters countered that as civil unions are a legal form only, that it does not effect marriage.
Colorado previously passed a ban on gay marriage.
