Boulder earns perfect score on LGBTQ+ equality rating
Nov. 30—For the third consecutive year, a national organization has given Boulder top marks for its laws, policies and services that are inclusive of LGBTQ+ residents.
Boulder scored 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's 2022 Municipal Equality Index, which ranks cities throughout the United States by how inclusive municipal laws, policies and services are of LGBTQ+ people who live and work there, according to a news release from the city. Hundreds of cities nationwide received a rating based on non-discrimination laws, the municipality as an employer, municipal services, law enforcement and leadership on LGBTQ+ equality.
"Recognition from the HRC Foundation is a great accomplishment toward creating a more inclusive Boulder," said Pam Davis, assistant city manager and LGBTQ+ liaison, in the news release. "We also recognize in the face of recent attacks against the LGBTQ+ community that the work of our city must continue to create an environment of safety and belonging for all."
