Issues: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

Members of the LGBTQ+ community deserve clear and unbreakable protections that are here to stay.

All of the incredible progress on equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community that we have made in the last decade is under assault from the Trump Administration. The recent actions to undermine the security, support, and even safety for the LGBTQ+ community are disgraceful. In Colorado, we passed civil unions, battled discrimination at every turn, and ensured that everyone had the same rights and protections under the law. Hickenlooper has been a lifelong supporter of LGBTQ+ rights and in Colorado he led real progress to make sure everyone felt welcome regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Hickenlooper supports passing the Equality Act and the Do No Harm Act today.
