Why did people and businesses boycott the state of Colorado after the amendment passed? People who boycotted disagreed with the amendment because it would have allowed the state to legally
discriminate against people who identified as LGBTQ.
People who identified as LGBTQ would have been required to pay higher taxes than heterosexuals in the state of
Colorado so it would have impacted the economy.
The LGBTQ community in Colorado would have refused to buy or sell to anyone who did not boycott the state.
Boycotters wanted to send the state of Colorado a strong and quick message that they did not approve of the
amendment and its impact on LGBTQ citizens.
People who boycotted understood that the state needed the amendmentbecause they would never discriminate
against their fellow citizens.
