The other nuance is the Colorado recognizes this protected class but not the federal government (or Supreme Court).

What about if bob was gay and Alice was working for an anti-gay Church? If I was bob I wouldn’t want to participate in such business.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoChurches generally have exceptional carve-outs in what discriminatory actions they can take. As such, comparing churches and commercial establishments isn't an apples to apples comparison.

This is a good point that I should have considered more. (Not that it really matters but I do try to catch my biases before expressing them.) I was thinking about this more yesterday and this morning and eventually reversed my conclusion because of this argument.
