One Colorado: This administration's anti-LGBTQ remarks have crossed the line

By Daniel Ramos, Executive Director, One Colorado
 
When referring to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people, President Trump “joked" that Vice President Mike Pence wants to “hang them all” according to a shocking report.

Violence against LGBTQ people isn’t a joke. It’s shameful, dangerous, and disgusting.

We’ve seen over and over again how this administration has lashed out at our community; from banning transgender service members in the military, to eroding federal non-discrimination protections, and now, joking about violence against LGBTQ people.  


Just this year, 21 transgender people have been murdered in the U.S. We need leaders to protect us from this kind of violence, not encourage it. This is not normal.

Contribute to our efforts to elect pro-equality candidates to the state house, state senate, and to the Governor’s office who will fight for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer Coloradans and their families.
