The hate filled, fascist, theocratic/authoritarian/Fundie Freaks, GQP continues to demonize and call for violence against those they don’t like or who are different than them. This time, it’s Colorado:
The Colorado GOP’s mass email titled “God Hates Pride,” read, in part, “The month of June has arrived and, once again, the godless groomers in our society want to attack what is decent, holy, and righteous so they can ultimately harm our children.”
The message to Colorado Republicans was headlined with an image reading “God Hates Flags,” a nod to the anti-gay slur on the picket signs of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church.
The party’s message was signed by chairman Dave Williams. A post from the Colorado Republican Party on X, formerly Twitter, read simply, “Burn all the #pride flags this June.”
Colorado Republican Party’s “call to burn all Pride Flags” reflects that the state party’s allegiance is to the values of state chairman Dave Williams, even more so than those of Donald Trump. In 2020, Williams proposed a same-sex marriage ban that the CO GOP + R legislative leaders wouldn’t back,” wrote Clark.
The mailer sparked outrage from inside the GOP as the party’s endorsed candidate in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District, Valdamar Archuleta, renounced his own party’s endorsement. Archuleta, who is also the president of the Colorado Log Cabin Republicans, posted a lengthy statement saying that “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.”
