Today The Center held a press conference to unveil an awesome addition to The Rights Five campaign, a groundbreaking program aimed at educating Coloradans about five recent laws that offer protections for the gay community.
The laws include Employment Nondiscrimination, Housing and Public Accommodations, Hate Crimes, Second-Parent Adoptions, and Designated Beneficiaries and Carlos Martinez (pictured), The Center's Executive Director, explained that "because these laws have been passed just within the few years, we want to make sure that all LGBT coloradans know about them, understand them, and tell their friends and family about them."The campaign debuted earlier this year with a booth at PrideFest and now The Rights Five website has added an application that allows visitors to create their very own superhero alter-ego and share it (and the message of The Rights Five) with friends and family. Just upload a photo and customize to your heart's content by choosing skintone, hair color, costume, superhero "flair", and, last but not least, superpowers and abilities.
So be sure to check out the site and have some fun while you learn about your rights as a gay Coloradan.
