Colorado Governor Polis being openly gay and has won two elections with a large majority says everything you need to know why we are a protective state for LGBTQ rights.
I was pretty surprised too when I saw Colorado. Aren’t they and their governor among the least progressive Democrats? And aren’t they lax about their gun laws? Remember Colorado Springs?
Speaking of which, that city has a reputation as the “buckle in the Bible Belt” and is home to many evangelical seminaries. I’m glad Denver and Boulder are more open-armed, though the state as a whole could see more diversity.
Colorado Springs isn’t the Evangelical base it was in the 90s. It’s solid purple now and trending blue. A LOT of people flooded COS from Denver and changed the city dynamics.
That’s awesome!
