In the race for governor, the candidates debated twice August 29th.

archivesSOME NATIVE CULTURES ALREADY ACCEPT SAME SEX UNIONS
Whether or not the war, immigration and health care bring people to the polls in November, there's another issue that activists on both sides think will motivate people to vote - same sex unions. Colorado's crowded ballot will feature two proposals, one that would enshrine the definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman in the state constitution, the other would legalize domestic partnerships.
But same sex unions haven't always been a big deal in the west, at least not among some native American cultures, as Alise Widmer reports in this story from Phoenix, filed as part of NPR's "Next Generation Radio" project.
