The Colorado Republican Party has sparked controversy by calling for the burning of Pride flags and using derogatory language in communications. On June 3, the party sent an email to its members with the subject line 'God Hates Pride' to mark the start of Pride Month. The email and subsequent social media posts referred to Democrats as 'godless groomers' and included gay slurs. The party's actions, which were also part of fundraising emails, have drawn significant backlash. This story was reported by 9news and KyleClark.
