48. I don't think Colorado expected such a public backlash

Wed May 22, 2019, 04:18 PM

May 2019

when Amendment 2 was passed. I never worked harder on a campaign then I did to defeat that outrageous, homophobic trash, so I was devastated when it passed and glad to see the national outcry and the boycott.

The amendment finally went down in the courts, but I think the whole ordeal, including the boycott, taught voters a lesson. I hope the same holds true for all.
