Under the public accommodations provisions of the Colorado
Anti-Discrimination Act, it is a discriminatory practice to deny
to anyone “because of disability, race, creed, color, sex, sexual
orientation, marital status, national origin, or ancestry . . .
the full and equal enjoyment of the goods [and] services . . . of
a place of public accommodation.”
Colorado Revised Statutes § 24- 34-601(2)(a).
The Anti-Discrimination Act defines “place of public
accommodation” to include “any place of business engaged in any
sales to the public and . . . any business offering wholesale or
retail sales to the public.” Colo. Rev. Stat. § 24-34-601(1). It
specifically exempts churches, synagogues, mosques, or other
places principally used for religious purposes.
