Daniel Estrella, second from left, with Chase Bank, walks with his nephews Ronan and Axton, as they take part in the Denver Pride Parade on June 25, 2023 in Denver.The Colorado Republican Party sent an anti-LGBTQ+ email to supporters this week with a video that included an allusion to a virulently anti-gay religious organization, sparking criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike. Amid the backlash, the party then called for the burning of pride flags.
The email, which coincided with the beginning of Pride Month, is signed by Dave Williams, a former state representative and the state GOP’s elected chair. Williams is also running in the Republican primary for the 5th Congressional District, representing Colorado Springs. The state party, run by Williams, has endorsed him in that race.
In a statement texted to The Denver Post on Thursday, Williams doubled down on the attacks and said he “made no apologies for saying God hates pride.” He said that “the only backlash we see is coming from radical Democrats, the fake news media and weak Republicans who bow down at the feet of leftist cancel culture.”
Rocky Mountain Equality, an LGBTQ+ advocacy group, condemned that post and the party’s other attacks and said the “fight for equality for all people is far from over.” In November, Colorado voters will decide“As we enter Pride Month, a time for the LGBTQ community to celebrate who we are and find connection with others, some groups would still wipe us from existence if they could,” Rocky Mountain Equality’s executive director, Mardi Moore, wrote in a statement.
