Pikes Peak Gay & Lesbian Community Center today announced its formal opposition to Amendments 46 & 48.
"Both of these amendments are deceitful in nature," says Rob Beam, the Center's Board President. "Much like Amendment 2, they claim to be something they are not."
According to the Center, Amendment 46 is ultimately intended to remove equal opportunity programs like Women's Math Programs in colleges. Amendment 48 is intended to ban abortion, but has the effect of also banning forms of birth control. Both amendments are considered to be attacks against women and variouscommunities.
"I'm excited our organization has taken a stand against these two measures that could have a negative impact on many diverse communities, including the LGBT community," says Ryan Acker, the Center's Executive Director.
The Pride Center plans to release additional information about this year's ballot in the coming days. For more information, please contact (719) 471-4429.
