Governor Jared Polis released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled that LGBTQ workers are protected from discrimination.

"This strong 6-3, Supreme Court ruling is a victory for LGBTQ workers and a significant step on the road to equality. We must continue to create a community where people feel safe, and loved, and valued, and respected. No person should be afraid to show the world who they are - and no LGBTQ person should risk losing their job by doing so.
