Who’s being discriminated against?
CRS section 24-34-601, Colorado’s public accommodation law, prohibits a business from refusing to provide services to any member of the public on the basis of gender identity. But it doesn’t prohibit discrimination on the basis of beliefs.
So I guess it is OK for the Aspen lab to refuse to administer a COVID test to a freethinker of color who escaped from the plantation because she’s confident of her gender identity. I was pretty sure that was where we had arrived. Good to have confirmation.
