After a lot of thought and consideration, reflecting on yesterday's email from the Colorado Republican Party with the subject line "God Hates Pride", I can not accept their endorsement. Here's my full statement: Yesterday the Colorado State GOP sent out an email with the subject line “God Hates Pride”. I have been an avid critic of where the celebration of Pride has gone in recent years and firm supporter of protecting children from environments and entertainments that are of an adult nature. However, this email went too far and was just hateful. I personally found it very troubling. I spoke with many LGBT and non LGBT Republicans yesterday who also found the message in the email disgusting and offensive.This email does NOT Represent the Republican voters of Colorado. I know the Republicans in our State and in our city. They’re kind, accepting, loving, and welcoming people. They’ve become some of my best friends. They love this country, they love this state, they love our city, and they love their neighbors. They want solutions to the problems facing our communities that the people are most concerned with. I believe working with the Republican Party affords me the greatest chance of getting results for these issues. Primarily the high cost of living and the economy. Many young people in Denver feel they will never be able to afford the American dream. However, the Republican Party, like all political parties, is not perfect. And I believe it’s important to have the integrity to call out your party when you see them make a mistake. On Sunday, June 2nd, the State GOP released it’s full list of endorsements for this months State Primary. After giving it a lot of thought, reflecting on the email released yesterday, I can not accept the endorsement from the Colorado State GOP. I sent them an email asking to be removed from their list of endorsees. This does not mean I won’t work with the State Party. I want them to succeed and I want them to do better. I’m not one to abandon ship when times get hard. I will also support our great GOP Candidates from the top of the ticket down. Moving forward unity is important. We need to work for the betterment of our country. As Peter Thiel said, to a standing ovation, in his address to the 2016 Republican National Convention, “I am proud to be gay, I am proud to be a Republican, but most of all I am proud to be an American”. Thank You.
