Create Isolation? Not us!
Posted by Barb Van Hoy
Tell us your story and join the conversation!
It’s been revealed: Citizens Project is the agency behind the subversive ads you may have seen around town. The Gazette ran a nice story about it, and what these crazy messages really represent is our community without Citizens Project:
Now we invite you to join us to make our community a better place. We are creating a louder voice for inclusion, diversity and equal rights by collecting stories, creating conversations, and telling a new, powerful story of Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region.
Today, we want to hear more about you.
Tell us your story. Tell us about your personal experiences of diversity, discrimination, inclusion, or isolation. Tell us about a time you felt unwelcome or devalued in our community, and tell us about a time you felt included and respected. Tell us what you wish for Colorado Springs and our region, and how you think Citizens Project can help residents make a difference.
We look forward to hearing from you!

I’ve been excluded from my new community in Eastern Colorado. They think I’m gay and they either shun me, or worse, they gay-bait me with harassing comments.
I wish it was any easier in the city but I’ve seen this in the city too.
They’ve started to mess with my car.
Colorado has GBLT protection in its civil rights laws now, but we still have a long way to go.
I blame the Religious Right, which fans the flames of hatred by condemning gays.
