科罗拉多反歧视法 禁止在场所的歧视 public accommodation, housing, and employment based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

歧视性做法 可以有多种形式, 包括:服务条款, 拒绝充分和平等的服务, 恐吓, 访问, 条件, 特权, 广告, 和报复.

  • 公共设施 & 住房: A place of public accommodation can include locations such as a bakery, 花店, 餐厅, 酒店或汽车旅馆, 医院, 零售商店, 学校, 公共交通, 康乐设施或公园, 和图书馆.
    • 所有公共设施应允许个人使用与其性别认同相一致的性别隔离设施. 
    • 性别隔离设施包括, 但不限于卫生间, 更衣室, 更衣室, 和宿舍.
  • Landlords, store owners, and service providers 不能因为你的性取向或性别认同而拒绝为你提供服务.
  • 就业: 在做出与就业有关的决定时，考虑性取向或性别认同是违法的, 包括雇佣和解雇, or any inquiries about an employees sexual orientation.

例子: 

  • 商店老板不能因为你使用符合你性别认同的洗手间就把你赶出去.
  • 房东不能因为你的性别认同或性取向而限制你使用物业设施.
  • An employer cannot prohibit you from coming out at work, 执行基于性别的着装规范, or fire you based on your sexual orientation or gender identity.

你有作为学生的权利.

联邦法律要求公立学校纠正对LGBTQ+学生的虐待和骚扰. 如果学校得知你受到虐待或骚扰，却没有采取任何措施保护你, then it has been put on notice and can be held legally responsible. 

  • Keep a record of each time you were harassed-what happened, 谁参与了, 以及你向谁报告的.
  • 隐私: 你的学校没有权利在未经你允许的情况下把你“泄露”给任何人.
  • 言论自由: 宪法赋予你在学校出柜的权利，如果你愿意的话. Your right to free expression includes your choice of clothes. 如果你们学校的规定允许其他学生穿印有他们信仰的t恤, 因为t恤上有LGBTQ+的旗帜，他们就要求你脱下t恤是违法的. 学校的着装要求必须平等对待所有学生——如果你想穿的衣服被其他学生穿也是合适的, then you are also able to wear that clothing. 当一个人的讲话对课堂造成严重干扰时，学校可以限制他的讲话.
  • 同性恋异性恋联盟:联邦平等准入法案规定，如果公立学校允许非课程社团, then it must allow students to form a GSA if they want to. The 学校 has to treat the GSA the same as it does other non-curricular clubs.
  • 带同性伴侣参加毕业舞会:你的公立学校不能阻止你带同性伴侣参加毕业舞会. 

你不能被拒绝医疗保险

In 2013, the Colorado Division of Insurance stated that discrimination in health coverage based on sexual orientation is prohibited (sexual orientation is defined as heterosexuality, 同性恋, 双性恋, 或跨性别身份).
Public health insurance plans sold in Colorado can no longer:

  • 征收更高的税率 or charge more because of your sexual orientation
  • Use your sexual orientation as a pre-existing condition for the purpose of limiting or denying coverage
  • Deny, exclude or limit coverage for medically necessary services as determined by your medical provider, 如果将相同的物品或服务提供给另一个人而不考虑其性取向. In short, Colorado law requires equality in treatment.
    • 例子: If an insurer covers breast reduction surgery to lessen back pain, 如果医疗提供者认为在医学上有必要进行缩胸变性手术，该保险公司不能拒绝.
    • If hormone therapy is covered for other policyholders, 如果确定是医学上必要的，则不能拒绝变性.

更新id文档 

  • Jude 's Law允许任何年龄的变性人和非双性恋的科罗拉多人拥有准确的, reflective identification documents (IDs). This means that you can update your birth certificate, 驾照, or Colorado state ID with the options male (M), 女(F), 或非二元/性别不一致(X).
  • Requirements eliminated: This act gets rid of the requirements of surgery, 医生的证明, 法院命令, and newspaper publication to make document changes.
  • 新的出生证明:如果你以前已经根据以前的法律版本获得了修改过的出生证明, you can apply to receive a new birth certificate. 
  • 更改姓名的法院命令:为了获得更改性别指定的新出生证明，您不需要获得合法更改姓名的法院命令. However, the law only allows you to request the gender designation update once. Beyond the one time, 法院命令 is required.
