Colorado Gov. Jared Polis described the growing number of laws targeting LGBTQ people in Republican states as 'un-American.'
“Look, words matter. Laws matter," Polis told CNN's "State of the Union" during an interview. "When a group of people, LGBTQ youth, feel targeted by the words and laws that some politicians espouse, of course, it can increase anxiety, depression."
"I think what this is it's an example of Republican overreach on an issue that the American people have long moved past. The American people as a whole are completely accepting of who people love and how they live their lives." “These hard policies about saying certain youth can’t play sports, and certain people aren’t allowed in certain places, or micromanaging what restroom people use and mandating what they do are really, frankly, un-American and are an example of Republican overreach, which will ultimately hurt their party, if they can’t espouse the full diversity of the American people,” he added.
