The Denver Rescue Mission is removing anti-LGBTQ employment policies from its handbook in the wake of Saturday’s Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs
DENVER — .
“After dialogue with the Denver Rescue Mission’s Board of Directors and Senior Leadership team today, we have determined it is appropriate to re-evaluate recent changes made to our Employee Handbook and have paused its implementation. In particular, the phrases “acting on same sex attraction” and “rejecting of one’s biological sex” will be removed. We will be engaging in further discussion before asking employees to sign the handbook,” the release said.
The City of Denver, which has a policy protecting LGBTQ members from discrimination, has an $8.7 million contract with the Denver Rescue Mission to provide services for the city’s homeless population.
