Whitney Galbraith: CADA a monster
When Senate Bill 08-200, dubbed as an “extension of prohibitions against discrimination,” was signed into law early this month, it added sexual orientation to an existing list of 20 protected classes of Colorado citizens. Eight of the others include physical characteristics such as race and gender, with the rest covering characteristics of choice such as religion, creed, family status and residence.
Colorado jurisdictions where these anti-discrimination measures apply include the sale and use of private housing, access to public accommodations, regulated occupations, labor hiring for public works, insurance, jury duty and public school teachers.
Some Colorado citizens may view this law, known informally as Colorado’s Anti-Discrimination Act, or CADA, as justice. Others will see it as a predatory monster.
