"Supporters claim the bill will prevent discrimination; in reality, the bill endangers religious freedom by opening the door for the state to punish any person or organization — including small and home-based businesses — that refuses, for religious or other moral reasons, to offer or sell goods or services to homosexuals, bisexuals, "transgendered" and transsexual individuals."

Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter signed a nondiscrimination law Friday that offers new legal protections to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals.

Prior to the signing, Colorado's nondiscrimination law covered only the categories of race, sex, religion and disability.

State Sen. Jennifer Veiga and state Rep. Joel Judd carried the bill that added LGBTs to the list.
