Clela Rorex, Clerk Who Broke a Gay-Marriage Barrier, Dies at 78
Clela Rorex, who made headlines in 1975 when, as the Boulder County clerk in Colorado, she issued a marriage license to a gay couple, one of the first to do so in the nation, died on Sunday at a hospice center in Longmont, Colo. She was 78. Her son Scott Poston said the cause was complications of an infection.
