History
The Equal Times and Boycott Colorado
Boycott Colorado was founded by Terry Schleder in December of 1992 in response to the passing of Amendment 2. There are several letters from Terry Schleder addressed to Ground Zero, Katherine A. Pease, and Frank Whitworth suggesting a close relation between the organizations. Many of these letters are thank you letters that show appreciation for the support of Ground Zero and its front runners have given Boycott Colorado. Other letters give updates on the push against Amendment 2 and ask for continued support in addressing problematic organizations and circumstances like hate crimes against LGBTQ+ community members, Colorado for Family Values, the censorship of gay and lesbian voices, talk radio stations, and civil rights movements. Another letter also addresses the creation of the PFLAG (Parents and Friends or Lesbians and Gays) organization, a support group for straight ex-spouses, friends, and family of LGBTQ+ community members in Colorado. Documented Boycott Colorado releases run from December 1992 to November 1993. [^8][^9][^10][^11][^12][^13][^14]
"It's not just gay consumers that are outraged, anyone who is concerned with civil rights is targeting Colorado, and all minorities are very worried.''
