CWN Editor's Note: The Archdiocese of Denver is suing the state of Colorado for religious discrimination, after being excluded from a state-supported preschool program.
Two Catholic parish schools—which have joined the archdiocese in the suit—operate preschool programs but will not be eligible for state support because of new rules barring discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or “gender identity.”

With respect to Mr. Mirrus, this litigation is a just cause. "“Colorado did not have to create a universal preschool funding program, but in doing so it cannot implement that program in a way that excludes certain religious groups and providers based on their sincerely held religious beliefs,” the lawsuit reads." BTW "a Colorado website designer could discriminate against LGBTQ couples," is either sloppy or sly; either way, poor journalism but meeting expectations.
