1. Damn! Denver used to be a very welcoming place.

I was stationed there for a while in the early 70's, and it was a sort of 'hippie haven' where everyone mostly got along very well. A few problems, but nothing on this scale.

Have been back a few times over the past 40 years, and have seen a major shift in the overall 'feel' of the city.

3. Denver is one of the coolest cities in the world.

Very LGBTQ friendly. Very laid back.
