My brother lives in Lakewood, so I've spent a fair amount of time in the area. It's west Denver and a pretty nice place to live. My take is that there are a lot of 'liberal' folks there; you see a lot of pride flags on the signs of mega-churches. Denver is a bit of a mixed bag in general. It's the meeting point between hyper-liberal Boulder and conservative Colorado Springs (though even CS is going liberal now). It's more of a 'libertarian' vibe than a 'republican' vibe. As such, the folks there will side with the baker in terms of his right to be bigoted. But his business is really hurting at the same time because people think he's an ass. In general, CO politics are pretty quiet, as the legislature can't raise taxes (TABOR). But when it comes to water and drought, Denver makes DC look like kiddos. Water is the BIG deal in CO.
